Public transport stops only appear in Google Maps when you zoom in quite a lot despite being some of the most important points of interest when using public transport. Public transport navigation is also very lackluster.

Maybe its a personal experience or a US problem, but when I was in Japan Google Maps was a godsend for navigating the subway and railway system. I learned quickly to trust that system because they had rail cars coming and going constantly. Ignoring the system caused me to get onto the right train, but that train was a full service train saand stopped at each individual station. Had I waited 2 minutes as directed I would have gotten on the limited service train and arrived at my destination many minutes faster.
