I know that is at first a geo database but has anyone build a better web ui where i can plan routes with public transport just like on google maps

Edit: I have found one which works for me: Mapy.cz it isn't open source but that wasn't a requirement

Google maps uses gtfs, public transport companies publish that feeds. Osm does not store this data, only subsets were imported, mostly the physical stuff, stops, stations and sometimes lines.

For proper public transport routing you need a service where this feeds were imported or linked correctly, and they can combine it with osm data for alternatives.

I used this osm based app a long time ago, I don't know if it's still working: https://transportr.app/

There has actually been some progress on integrating GTFS data into OSM: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GTFS

I haven't yet seen much use of it in the wild though…
