@ColinTheMWell, it's a pretty niche infuriation. I should have mentioned it, but I'd love to explain the complexity to you and hear what you've got to say.

I live in India, and I reside in Ahmedabad (a city in Gujarat). Now my city has two bus services: one is BRTS, and another is AMTS. All the map apps support AMTS, which is this old, crappy bus service. It's too complex to understand. Due to which I've never even travelled in that bus. Then comes the new bus rapid transit service, or BRTS. This service was inaugurated in 2009, so it's relatively new, and the buses are good. Those are air-conditioned. You get a good place to stand. The stops are pretty well designed, and you get enough time to get on the bus. Now, BRTS is the best. I use it to go everywhere, and hands down, I love it. The tickets, though cheap, are costlier than AMTS, but I feel like it's okay. Now the catch is that not every place has a BRTS station, and that's where this problem comes for the people in my city. It's hard to go to every place in my city, which is why it comes in handy to have a service like this which shows the nearest bus station.

If you want to read about BRTS, here's the wiki(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmedabad_Bus_Rapid_Transit_System). It's pretty interesting. I just finished high school and started to explore my city on my own and with friends (without parents), so we started to use public transport and are fascinated by our own city.
