Been looking for an alternative to Google Maps. Organic Maps (OpenStreetMap) is great, but it doesn't know the bus routes in my city.

I remembered that the GRT (local transit) website had a trip planner that I used to use in the pre-Google days. Decided to give that a go again.

Turns out they're just using Google Maps now. Understandable, but disappointing.

CityMapper has good transit info for larger cities.

@Brian Sullivan I'll have to have a look at that. I wonder of my city is big enough to make the cut.

Edit: They seem to think I live in Toronto (which is news to me) but they do seem to have the local transit routes.

i use transit.app unfortunately it uses navigation via google so if i use it on e os or on a devolved android it will tell me stops but it can’t tell me how to get there. i found it to be okay when i knew where the stops where but annoying when i didnt. would love an alternative too
