I really shouldn’t be astonished, but I am 😵.
This is, of course, utter abuse of user data, but what’s even worse is that Google allows this.
#Conversations was taken off Google Play, and forced to remove its contacts linking feature for #privacy reasons, despite the fact that no contact data was ever uploaded to any servers, yet #Citymapper is allowed to share highly sensitive precise location data with third parties for the sake of #profit?!
🤬 Goodbye Citymapper!!
Thankfully we’re not exactly short of #opensource alternatives: I love how #Öffi displays the timetables, but we also have #Transportr and KDE’s #KTrip (which not only works on Android but also on #mobilelinux).

To add to the list: I just came across @bimba, which doesn’t work on my crappy device*, but their attitude seems solidly in the right place!
https://bimba.app/
* EDIT: it does work, it was probably my own fault.
@teun
Thanks! I wasn’t aware of that one, installing it now.
I see it uses #Transitous, just like KTrip, which is nice to see.
