I’ve spent a while looking at this point and all the options I’ve tried so far don’t work very well. I’m looking for an app, website or desktop program that has the ability to navigate using public transport. At the moment the best thing I’ve found is osmand but sometimes it just doesn’t work, it will just spend ages loading without ever finishing (I’ve let it load for at least 10 minutes) Also comaps/organic maps can only do short distances or it just crashes out saying there is no route available.

Does anyone have any good options or is osm still only have very primitive public transport offerings?

      Sorry, can’t help you there because I don’t have a clue. I’m in Japan and landed on the Yahoo Japan app because in my experience they do better than the G’s and A’s here locally.

          Yahoo Japan is a separate entity from the US juggernaut of ancient times. They run a transportation app called Yahoo!乗換案内 or roughly Yahoo Transfer Information. I live here so I can read enough Japanese to get by. But there is no English version.

          There used to be a non-Google English competitor that faded away a few years back. The network is quite dense here in the big cities and disruptions happen. So you’ll need something that alerts you to problems along the route. They stopped being tied into whatever API that requires. And it’s been so long I forgot what they were called. I prefer the Yahoo one to Google Maps because their algorithm that finds best connections works better in my experience. But that’s coupled with me knowing my way around Tokyo okay as well. YMMV.
