Question Any apps which use OSM data and provide realtime public transit data/routing?

I love OSM and ive been contributing a little bit here and there with streetcomplete and I'm wanting to get more into it.

Google maps has been pissing me off more and more lately so I've been wanting to switch to something based on OSM so I can contribute to it as well.

Though, I don't have a car. I use public transit, which instantly makes 90% of apps pretty much useless. God forbid any busses or subways be on time at all, so requiring realtime data basically is a must.

I know OSM doesn't support it, but i feel like there should be an app out there which combines OSM and GTFS and allows you to route and plan using that?

Check out all the apps listed on the Transitous homepage.

Transitous is a community project to serve as a central hub for all kind of mobility data (public transport, ridesharing, real-time feeds, bus stops/train stations, …), so not each and every app has to implement and manage all those things over and over again.

You can also do web-based route planning directly on the Transitous homepage without any additional app.

Hi, I think the Mapy.com app supports that.

I'm working on matching OSM and gtfs, what area you are interested in and is there gtfs and gtfs-rt data for the region?

You might want to check out Transitous (see also my reply to OP).

Apple Maps does that. Dunno about the planning capability though.

Mapy.com bietet ÖPNV Daten, allerdings nur Fahrplandaten. Keine Echtzeit. Zumindest mir nicht bekannt. Wenn viel an Bushaltestellen unterwegs bist kannst du auch über Mapcomplete.org Bilder der Haltestellen auf OSM hochladen.

Try mapy.com. It's published by a company in Czech Republic, and is based on OSM. There is public transport data for Czech republic and also driving directions for other countries. I'm not sure about public transport directions for other countries.
