City Mapper is nicer for all the cities I have tried. Google Maps UX is terrible if you want to use public transports.

- midoridensha 4y agoWhat exactly is the problem with Google Maps UX on public transports? It works amazingly well for me.

- WastingMyTime89 4y agoFor Paris, it poorly tells you where to enter stations. It gives exit as street names whereas Paris metro exits use numbers. It doesn’t tell you where you should stand in the train to easily grab the next train. It doesn’t show if there is an incident on the line it’s suggesting you take. It’s extremely annoying going back and forth between the solutions it’s suggesting.
- midoridensha 4y agoIn Tokyo, it's fantastic in my experience. It tells me exactly which exit number to use from the station (and some Metro stations have many different exits), it tells me exactly when the train will leave (and when the next one leaves in case I miss it), which car to sit in for the most efficient transfer, etc. It tells you if there's an incident and your train will be late, etc. It does everything you complain about here. Perhaps this is a problem with local teams (or perhaps a lack thereof)? Tokyo has 2 large Google locations so all the localization work is done here.
