I've spent a while looking at this point and all the options I've tried so far don't work very well. I'm looking for an app, website or desktop program that has the ability to navigate using public transport. At the moment the best thing I've found is osmand but sometimes it just doesn't work, it will just spend ages loading without ever finishing (I've let it load for at least 10 minutes) Also comaps/organic maps can only do short distances or it just crashes out saying there is no route available.

Does anyone have any good options or is osm still only have very primitive public transport offerings?

What you linked to describes how to enter identifiers that can help integrate OSM with public transport timetables. It's true that OSM can have such identifiers; but not the full timetables themselves, those still need to be stored somewhere else.
