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.

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.

[–] Amaltheamannen@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.
