Transit's UI is superior to any other comparable app, but I find CityMapper's routes superior (at least in NYC).

I've also had issues with Transit surfacing incorrect bus routes based on cancelled buses (but scheduled) which CityMapper somehow could account for. Transit knows the next scheduled bus two minutes away isn't "live" (icons are different) but still surfaces it as a primary suggestion, while Citymapper wouldn't.

Citymapper lets me navigate NYC like a local even if I only visit a couple times a year. It gives transit options taking into account real-time location and time to navigate not just to the subway station but through it. It gives me the street corner I should enter and the the underground exit I should use at the end of my ride. I love it and hope it continues to be great.
