    Is it worse than the alternative? I’m no Google loyalist these days, but if you’re like me you have no idea what the alternative transit guide even is!

      Open Street Map. If something isn’t accurate, you just update it like Wikipedia. I made some updates to my city, and now it works flawlessly

      Try the Transit app, by Transit,inc…

      It’s a lot better than anything out there, as long as your area is supported.

      I almost exclusively use the app called Transit. It uses OSM data and shows live tracking for buses and trains (at least it does in my city). It’s good for figuring other options like walking, cycling, bike share.

      Citymapper is the gold standard. Osmand is excellent, except for delays. Many countries have third party top-tier apps for transit and train navigation – Trainline comes to mind in the UK, but it varies by region.
