Had this exact scenario happen yesterday. Was taking a bus to get somewhere in my city. Not wanting to use gøøg|€ maps, I went to a different website where half the screen was pretty much “HEY! DOWNLOAD OUR APP NOW FOR THE BEST EXPERIENCE!!!” and using the website itself felt like rubbing my skin against sandpaper vigorously while pouring lemon juice in my eyes and all over thousands of cuts.

Ended up having to use gøøg|€ maps anyways because there aren’t any other viable options for the bus routes for my city that tell me what stop I should get off.

I don’t remember what the site was, but I think it began with a W.

Oh boy do I know that feeling all too well. Understandably preferable to endure Google maps than the aforementioned torture.
