@amyisard sometimes I wonder if it's possible to have a community crowdsourced open source Citymapper with public transport APIs hooked up, maybe built on CoMaps/OSM?
I love Citymapper and it's actually quite scarily accurate (if it says I'm late, I'm very much most likely late), but I always hesitate using maps apps in general due to privacy, but the problem is I'm a shut-in (by design of a tech nerd) and have been growing up so I never know how to go anywhere ever and have to resort to it anyway because CoMaps doesn't really do public transport in SG.

@jj Access to information makes this very very hard outside a big company, I've tried to get access to the realtime metro apis for Melbourne (to make a screen that told me when to leave lol) and never went through with it because of the shear amount of paperwork involved in getting a single JWT... @amyisard @alper @arianvp @noodlemaz
