Good day! I’ll be flying to Australia soon, and I’m interested in trying public transport (even if it’s good or not always good, I want to see what’s there). Which apps would you recommend?

// I’ve tried googling the question, but somehow get 20-minute videos with animated characters and nonsense like that. I think I’ll trust recommendations from this community by a lot more 💚.

I’ll be in Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney.

    UPDATE: BTW, I’ve found some experimental support in CoMaps - supposedly, haven’t tried it https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/src/branch/main/docs/EXPERIMENTAL_PUBLIC_TRANSPORT_SUPPORT.md May be broken easily due to the experimental status of course…

    UPDATE2: Tried Moovit, it still works without google services, whoray! … And still asks money or fills me up with ads to the brim, also as before…

    UPDATE3: and it doesn’t allow putting GPS coordinates in the search field, unfortunately. This adds some churn if you’re switching between CoMaps and back…

    UPDATE4: actually in Melbourne, Moovit didn’t find anything. Google Maps does. Not sure why this happens. Google Maps in a browser tab is also an option if things get dire…
