Google Maps transit is still a frustrating experience despite the latest changes
Google Maps' transit experience is frustrating in everyday use and the latest minor improvements don't really change that.
You're viewing a single thread.
These all seem like nitpicks. Maps transit is still the best way to figure out to go between points and it works in multiple countries with the same interface.
Yea, like, basically the complaints boil down to, why am I not being handheld throughout the process more?
For me I just need the general direction and what bus/train line direction to take.
Feels like people in general are getting worse at basic spatial awareness.
The missing features are very basic things, like showing stops on a map or which location within the stop the bus stops at.
That's just missing data, I don't have that issue at all.
And to be fair, it'd be cool if these - comparatively small - changes happen. But using transit routing frequently here, I have no real complaints with it. It works fine.
its amazing in japan
It's quite decent in the UK. But I wish it had more customisability. Sometimes it cannot understand that I'd rather walk 15 minutes than buy a bus ticket for a 3 minute bus ride. But if someone was disabled and got free bus rides because of that, then of course it would make sense for them.
It can tap into bus data to see when it's late and stuff. But sometimes the bus company messes up the data. Oops.
Great in Poland, too. With live vehicle location and shit
It also can't support intermediate destinations via public transport (for example wanting to get somewhere via somewhere else)
