How is Nokia Transit?

Works flawlessly. Intuitive UI and you really do get all the information you need. I live in Calgary so the only major gripe I have is that it doesn't display stop numbers and instead focuses on arranging stops by distance from your location (which is nice, just a little different for me). Apart from that, the information is dead accurate and quite well presented.

It works mostly well in Philadelphia. My biggest issues are that it doesn't let me choose preferred methods. Buses are always late, so I'd rather walk a little further to the subway. Also, an acceptable walking distance is needed. Often when i'm trying to check for the next bus/train home, it tells me to stay on well past my stop, to transfer to a different bus that would drop me off 2 blocks closer. In that case, I'm mostly just looking for departure times, but it would suck for someone from out of town to end up in a sketchy area 2 miles away from where they need be, waiting for a bus to backtrack them.

I find Nokia Transit's performance in Center City quite accurate. My only gripe is that if you're in the east side of the city (Old City/Society Hill/Washington Square areas), Nokia Transit provides PATCO and NJ Transit info first.

Have you scrolled down the results? Mine shows bus stops first, but if you scroll down, the train stops are below it.

works okay in seattle but we have OneBusAway which is pretty good! have not ported gmaps to my lumia but didn't like using it as a public transportation source on any of my previous devices.
