    I use the app’s by local transit services and organisations (9292, NS) and so far that’s working out pretty well.

    They don’t have the reminder to indicate when your stop is coming up, but the last two or three times I tried to use that with Google Maps it just didn’t warn me, so I don’t think I’m missing out on much.

    There are a bunch of open source transit apps as well, but little work as well as Google does when it comes to planning trips and finding alternatives. Sometimes there just isn’t any open data about public transit and only a few shitty commercial apps have up to date information, but you could always check Google if the routes they suggest seem inefficient or too good to be true.
