> Google Maps has very good transit support too.

Where do you live? I'm guessing the bay area?

I was carless in DC for a year and Google Maps was ALWAYS wrong about when busses when arrive. My friend recommended an app called Transit which was right about 90% of the time, which was a godsend for me.

Seattle - Google Maps often suggests taking 2 buses for a 1 bus trip - to goto Tacoma on the 594, instead of going down the hill and taking the 594, it recommends going to the bus tunnel and taking another bus for about a mile, then transferring to the 594.

But it shows stop locations and plans routes quite effectively. Using the 2 apps in tandem creates a workable solution.
