Spider metamap

I've had an idea!
A map of London - could be geographical, could be a Beckian diagram -
showing where the bus hubs are. By 'bus hubs', i mean places that
have a spider map centred on them. The point of this is that if
you're somewhere, and you want to figure out how to get somewhere
else by bus, you can use this map to figure out which spider map you
want.
At the moment, there's no way to do this except local knowledge. For
instance, friday after next, i'll want to get from NW1 3EE to NW1
7AY. I can plug this into the journey planner, and that's great, but
i want a spider map for the starting end, so i can instantly see what
bus lines go where, where i can catch them from, where else i might
be able to go, etc. I guess the destination is Camden Town, but is
the start also that? Warren Street? Mornington Crescent? Euston?
Brilliant or what? Has this been done?
Do you mean something a bit like this
