OpenStreetMap (I use organicmaps as a client) is not a viable alternative to me when there is no reviews and no information about departure times. Are there any alternatives that are open-source?

HereWeGo probably the best till now but not open-source.

Edit: wrong spelling of OpenStreetMap

It's called OpenStreetMap, the last character is P, it's singular.

To answer your question there are multiple ongoing projects, none of them is mature enough for everyday use, they have a very few content:

There was a long and very interesting thread about this last year on the osm forum: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/a-crowd-sourced-review-service-for-openstreetmap/136235/24

Is GTFS short for Get The Fucking Schedule?

I want it to be true.

I suggest a common theme among abbreviations: GetTheFuckingGTFO

There was an update when they disabled a lot of cities for some reason. I remember I could use it in my city, but now it's not supported...

I haven't heard about Bimba before, @dafunkkk@lemmy.world recommended here, it seems it has better coverage.

Thank you it does show local stations, though from what I see their web journey planner is under construction :)
