Love it, someone who cares and is willing to drive the issue all the way home.
I'm currently visiting San Francisco (SF) and experienced an opposite issue where GMaps reported cheaper and it ended up being more expensive. The BART train is a relatively fast, very cost effective way to get from SFO to downtown SF, Powell station in particular.
I was debating Uber at $30-$40, but looked at GMaps for public and it told me $2.50 to make that trip! Sure it takes 40 minutes with a bit more sketch, but I'm visiting, I'm willing and it's cheap.
Loaded up my Clipper card (BART's transit payment card) and went - ultra surprised when exited the turn style that my charge was $9.80.
The to/from the airport is significantly more expensive, which is understandable, but $9.80 vs $30 is much different than $2.50 vs $30.
Mildly frustrating, but in the end, not the end of the world.
- perennate 7y agoLooks like it is still wrong too (says $2.60). Also, SamTrans bus takes twice as long but is $2.25.

- nhf 7y agoLooks like this is a known issue due to a misconfiguration of BART's transit feed. (Source: I work at Google and located the relevant bug, but I don't work on maps.)
