does anyone actually use the osm transport map

I find it so useless for actually getting around. every bus line is red. Every tramway is black

"but codl (I am a strawman) it predates all the modern transport line relation stuff that lets us tag line colors that's why it's like that"
1) update it then
2) it would be a million times more useful if every line had a random color that didn't necessarily match the official color

@codl apparently there used to be a viewer that respected the colour attribute but it's discontinued wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Us

@noiob reading this page is making me upset

"It looks the same in every city, which helps those who travel frequently between cities" that's not a feature! transport networks vary widely between cities!

Follow

@codl I never even considered using OSM for public transit and it seems like I missed exactly nothing

I don't even use gmaps because their info is usually outdated and they don't get info on delays and stuff
