Try magic earth instead of gmaps
All the alternatives work great for cycling, driving etc... but collapse instantly when you try and use them for public transport
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?
There's a somewhat universal standard for publishing transit information. Not all agencies are fully compliant, but most are on some level.
Oh I didn't know about that. Where can I find more information?
