“The Transit App” is probably not that privacy friendly right? Are there any open source and privacy respecting apps for getting bus/train times by location?

    People are probably down voting you because pointing someone to fdroid in response to a question asking for specific recommendations for a transit application is also not particularly helpful. It’s like if someone asked what boat they should buy for Alaskan Crab fishing which has navigational equipment and sonar that can detect down to 100 meters, and in response someone pointed at the entire ocean and said “I suggest you look for one there”.

      I disagree.

      1. OP wasn’t at all specific about what kind of transit app they were seeking, as others have noted.
      2. Whatever kind of privacy-friendly transit app they want, F-Droid is exactly the place to find it.
      3. There are only a handful of each type there. Comparing that to an ocean is absurd.
      4. Many people don’t know about F-Droid at all, and just need a pointer to it.

      Despite disagreeing, I appreciate that you used your words. Thanks.
