Yes, it's possible, and there are few examples, the point is it's much more complex to implement it than just slapping router on top of the map.
Sure, I appreciate that it's more complicated due to there not being a connected road graph in the same way as there is for other modes of transport. But at the very least showing the main transit arteries (metro & light rail) prominently would already go a long way, if nothing else than to help identify places by their nearest transit stop.
There is also a Transit layer on osmapp :)
