the only horrible thing about this is how bad some of the alternatives are; somehow, it seems that google maps is the only one that will give you directions using public transit.

if I had to guess, it's probably somehow related to how everyone uses Google's standard for public transport feed. I just use a separate transit app that covers bajillion of different cities in my country and lets me buy tickets without using Google Pay.

Organic Maps is testing public transport navigation, by the way, but it's not available in released builds yet: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/blob/master/docs/EXPERIMENTAL_PUBLIC_TRANSPORT_SUPPORT.md
