• Is the L system considered accessible for colorblind people?

  For somebody new to the system I would also recommend something like the Transit App, which you can put your whole trip into ahead of time and will give you literal step by step directions to and within stations, including voice prompts if you want. I don't need it in Chicago but I often use it in other cities where I don't know how to navigate things. Source: 9 months ago

• Public transportation

  If you don’t mind being on a bus for almost an hour and a half, then sure you can get on the 212 bus. Download the Transit app for accurate schedules and arrivals. Source: 9 months ago

• How many trains are on the Expo line at once?

  Take a look at the Transit app. Right now I see 5 westbound and 6 eastbound between SM and DTLA. Source: 10 months ago

• buses are a fucking joke and im done taking them

  Sure. My app is Simple MBTA App for Android. This is how I show cancelled trips. Transit is the officially endorsed MBTA app, and I think they do a pretty good job. Source: 10 months ago

• App request: bus tracking using MAC ids

  I've started using https://transitapp.com/. It works in Dublin and uses crowdsourcing for exactly this. It uses other app users' location to track buses better than the "real time" info. Source: 10 months ago

• 2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps

  There is a beta of Organic Maps for Linux. Check out bottom of this page: https://organicmaps.app/ I would still want to to know if I can selfhost something of similar, low complexity in my home network. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Apple Maps wrongly lists restaurant permanently closed, costing owner thousands

  I live in a country in Europe where roaming is prohibitively expensive, so use offline OpenStreetMap abroad a lot, with different apps, mostly https://organicmaps.app. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Quairading shire erects signs telling travellers to ignore Google Maps

  Https://organicmaps.app/ is well suited for (completely) offline routing. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Osmapp – A Universal OpenStreetMap App

  Personally I am using [organicmaps](https://organicmaps.app/) which is using OpenStreetMap data, and it works really well. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Why do maps apps have essentially no caching?

  Organic Maps is offline until it needs to download updated map information from Open Maps data. https://organicmaps.app/ Search just finds whatever matches sorted by distance so it may not fit one's needs. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
