When a trip involves more than one mode of travel it is split into legs by mode. With a multi-modal trip the itinerary for each leg is not initially visible to the user after a trip is planned, only a heading (for each section) that displays the last direction of the leg can be seen. Some users have been confused by this because they are not aware that sub-sections expand. We need to make this more intuitive for users in some way. One option would be to add a +/- symbol on the right-hand side of the heading that indicates whether the leg is collapsed/expanded. A caption below that symbol that says expand/collapse may be helpful as well.
