I agree that the fragmentation is a hassle to deal with. There's something missing in terms of incentives to integrate all of these systems. Some major regions don't even provide transit metadata to Google Maps (e.g. Austrian ÖBB refuses[1], IIRC because Google didn't handle some types of transfer or some other feature which their own route planner does support). And that's before talking about booking tickets accepting payments. I started writing out the list of steps I go through to visit a new city effectively, but it's much too depressing. There's a huge amount of local knowledge that IMO shouldn't be required just to visit a city as an outsider without getting ripped off.
