I'm slowly working on getting away from Google, but unfortunately, Organic Maps doesn't offer public transit directions/schedules in my region, and since I don't have a car, that's like 80% of what I use Google Maps for.
Coming from someone also without a car - KDE Itinerary is the best thing I've used for that purpose yet, and it's free and open source too. Perhaps it'll fulfill your use case too?
Check out the apps from your local public transit authority. In my region what Google offers in regard to public transit is utter trash and the "official" apps are having the correct shedule
It is based on data from the Open Street Map project.
If nobody in your area has added that information, it won't be there.
The good news is, anyone (including you) can add that information and provide a public service to the people of your area.
Check if CoMaps can work for you in your city. If you want a closed source app: Transit is amazing for bus and subway live arrival times
