I submitted a fix to google maps where a bus stop in my neighborhood was missing. About 6 months later I got an email saying "for technical reasons we cannot fix this."
All the other apps that show bus stops have the stop.
I just don't use google maps for transportation stuff. City Mapper is my goto app for that.
I wish Apple would do the obvious thing and allow 3rd party apps to send public transport data directly to the official Maps app, via a new extension point. That way, if you have the right apps, everything would always be up to date, and maybe you'd even be able to see things like real-time bus and subway markers if your public transit apps supported tracking! Google has some amazing technology, but their web-based infrastructure simply would not allow them to create a decentralized system like this — whereas it's right in Apple's wheelhouse.
