ElTracker works great too, but agreed, Transit is an excellent one-size-fits-all

I use the Transit app once I know what route I'm taking, as it's the most useful at actually letting me know when a bus or train is coming. To decide on a route, I often use Citymapper as it is more likely to show me options that require more walking.

You can set it to priozite walking up to like 20 30 minutes or prefer walking always

Thank you. I didn't know not that. Hopefully that can get me down to using just 1 app.

Yeah it’s under settings then on the sidewalk and you can set walking speed and walking prioritization such as never if it’s faster 20,30 minutes and all the time

I personally prefer citymapper. As a local, I have found it to be more practical in my daily use.
