I use Citymapper for this; have for years (https://citymapper.com/ https://citymapper.com/). It does exactly what you're asking for. I too am surprised that Google hasn't eaten their lunch by baking this into Google Maps.
- petra 8y agoI suspect that curating accurate transit data is a lot of boring, never ending work, and on the other hand, Google don't think they will have big enough money there(without building something like UBER, not their style), so they don't bother.
- yen223 8y agoGoogle Maps already has realtime transit information for Sydney (and I suspect, any other transit system which offers Google Transit APIs). The cool thing is that for Sydney, the same APIs are available to the public: https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/public-transport-timetables-realtime https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/public-transpo...
- petra 8y agoSure. but compared to their competitors, they're really slow.
- askvictor 8y agoGoogle built an API/data standard to standardise this type of data, exactly to solve this problem.

- zhoujianfu 8y agoOh, I hadn’t seen that! But hmm, it doesn’t seem to have jump bikes/scooters, Lyft scooters, bird, or lime in the scooters section, and again there’s no multi-mode.. it just shows walking/biking/Uber/public transit but not a combination of them. It does have a jet pack option which is nice and forward thinking! :)
- kcorbitt 8y agoI get multi-mode suggestions all the time, although the precise mix of options it suggests does depend on the points you're looking to travel between. Not sure about their scooter coverage though; I don't use it for that.
- andreasklinger 8y agocitymapper has scooters/bikes and multi-mode actually it's famous for the second one
