I get reasonable results from Citymapper and Mapy. HERE doesn't seem to know that buses exist.

I'm in the Netherlands and had better results from HERE than from Mapy.

I guess it's worth trying multiple apps for anyone who wants to ditch Google. We also have a local company (9292) who's whole business is providing public transport information, so you might not even need a map app for this.

NS also does a good job, so I have created this page: https://better-tech.eu/search/article/public-transport/

Now all I need is the rest of Europe.
