James,

If you are looking to compare trips on CaBi vs transit while controlling for walk time you could make your origin and destination points halfway between the Cabi station and the corresponding beginning and end of the transit portion. That way walk times would be roughly equal and you'd just be comparing the travel time for each mode. Alternatively, if open trip planner allows this you could subtract the beginning and ending walking times of the transit trip to get the same effect. Then, since you had a straight modal comparison, if you wanted to add in an estimate of walking time based on something like egk's idea you could apply similar logic to both trips to get a more even comparison.
