Happy to see, Google maps I've found hard to replace. but it's a marathon not a sprint

What OSM needs is a widely used service with consumer real time updates. The only thing I've been missing is showing closed roads or traffic. But that is all user sourced. Of we get enough people on board we are golden.

There is also transportr and a couple of other apps on fdroid if you search for transport. Maybe you find something for your region.
