MODERATORS
None of them seem up to date on public transport when I tried, which makes it kind of useless
Public transport in Magic Earth mostly works for me. It's not as good as Google Maps, but it's better than nothing.
Magic Earth seems much more complete than OSM from experience, which is curious considering they use OSM data. I wonder where they get the extra info.
Organic Maps is planning on implementing it. For now I just use a dedicated app for that though, ÖPNV Navigator is great for Germany for example.
Probably better to use local services.
Also they are way slower
Citymapper and the Transit app might work, depending on where you live
