I do like Organic maps, but it doesn't have live bus timings and multi-bus route calculation like google does, so I still occasionally have to use that instead.

Fortunately I'm on GOS, and can atleast restrict gmaps from seeing my GPS location, but they're still able to guess where I am and where im going and build data points to sell or hand over to cops based on which bus routes I look at.

Isn't the Transit app better for that stuff compared to Google Maps?

The app looks nice, but most of its features are locked behind a subscription, and still just uses google maps as its base.

I found that citymapper is a great stand-in for transit. Great with bike and public transit info, plus ads can be blocked with DNS so you get full functionality! Basically dropped transit once I started using it
