I’ve spent a while looking at this point and all the options I’ve tried so far don’t work very well. I’m looking for an app, website or desktop program that has the ability to navigate using public transport. At the moment the best thing I’ve found is osmand but sometimes it just doesn’t work, it will just spend ages loading without ever finishing (I’ve let it load for at least 10 minutes) Also comaps/organic maps can only do short distances or it just crashes out saying there is no route available.
Does anyone have any good options or is osm still only have very primitive public transport offerings?
I use https://f-droid.org/packages/xyz.apiote.bimba.czwek . It uses GTFS data from transit operators and is pretty good
No australia ):
It uses transitous, which seems to have GTFS sources for Australia: https://transitous.org/sources/
Dude! your amazing!
This is exactly what I was looking for! I tested it out with a transport route that goes near my place and I’ll admit the transport was about 50m ahead of where it said it was on the map but aside from that frickin awesome!
Also bimba actually provides a tutorial to add gtfs data from other places to the map so I might do that if I get around to it. Since it does still seam to be the most usable mobile app.
I did none of this, it’s the devs of transitous/bimba who are the amazing ones :)
But I’m glad I could help you find it!
