// Here's the explanation of the challenge -- when you're done reading it,
// click on `main.js` above to get started with the challenge!
// Getting around in a big city is no easy task! With so many options to get
// from point A to point B, it's easy to get confused. Fortunately, we can use
// code to figure out the best way to travel.
// ## Description
// In this challenge, you will write a `shortestTrip` function that receives a
// map (object) as an argument. Each key in the map is the name of a mode of
// transit between two places, and its value is an array containing the
// departure and arrival times for that mode of transit, represented as
// strings. The map represents the different modes of transit available
// between two points in a city.
// For example, if the trip can be done by taking the train, a bus, or
// walking, your function could be invoked like:
// shortestTrip({
// bus: ["09:15", "09:36"],
// train: ["09:30", "09:42"],
// walk: ["09:02", "09:40"]
// })
// Your function should return the name of the transit method in which the
// trip takes **the least time to complete** -- _not_ the transit method that
// arrives earlier, but the one in which you spend the least time travelling.
// The list of modes of transit will always contain at least one mode, and
//t he time will always be represented in the `hh:mm` format, using two
// digits for the hours and for the minutes.
// The times will never represent starting and ending on different days,
// meaning the travel times will never cross midnight. The departure time will
// always be earlier than the arrival time. No two trips will take the same
// amount of time.
