yeah, osm does not have schedule data, but it wouldn't be feasible to keep that info in osm, because it changes constantly.

instead bus schedules are supposed to be in GTFS datasets, normally published by the transport company. there are already services like transitous and motis, that aggregate and sanitize these sources for consumption by apps. comaps has plens for adding support, but it's going slowly.

Europe has relatively good coverage with these services, but as I see it the end user apps are still not ready. also, transport providers often don't publish realtime data, even if they are collecting it for themselves.

    Thanks for the info. I hope someday it gets good enough that I don't have to feel like I'm making sacrifices when switching over

    till that happens, personally I use a local transportation app I got from the play store ages ago, but has little data mining as I see it. it works with regularly updated offline databases, so my queries and location don't get uploaded anywhere
