I haved lived in a major 3rd world megacity for over a decade. I know the public transportation system quite well but still rely on google maps for time calculation, routes to new places, and using their yellow pages listings.

That being said i noticed recently what i would consider unethical behavior in the app and a major breach in the public trust.

When you ask for routing options in public transport it gives you the option in-app to add a scheduled pickup by 99 Taxis or Uber to the final leg of your journey. No problem there.

The problem is for those who prefer walkinag that last leg. the public transport options suggested to us cheapskates can be as much as 40 minutes longer than those with in-app purchases bundled. I could not find a way to select the better option in the app.

optimizing last mile travel is pretty difficult and this kind kf results are more likely a side effect of focusing on car modalities and not deliberately. Neglect of use case.
