    All the alternatives work great for cycling, driving etc… but collapse instantly when you try and use them for public transport

      Yeah, I find Maps the best for getting around regardless of the mode of transportation.

      Only thing I really dislike about Maps is that it doesn’t make it very easy to explore businesses. Like, try to look at a random strip mall and it won’t show you what all the store fronts are. Some things only seem to show up if you search for them (not if you look at exactly where they are).

      Google Maps saved me when I had to work in Japan for several months without knowing not a lick of Japanese. I just bought a Suica card and just stood on which color Google Maps told me.

        OSM is awesome. It keeps getting better and better.

      I’ve always wondered, does Google Maps link into each city’s public transport API manually after contacting the city, or do they have some sort of AI scraper?
