I find my phone even more important using public transport, checking schedules and figuring out which buses and trains I need to get for my destination.
Google Maps is good for that on my phone, in my area.
The transit provider also recently introduced mobile fares, so sometimes I use my phone to board (QR-based.)
Unfortunately, there is another fare overhaul coming, whereby they will make fares account-based prepaid, and mobile fares will be mutually exclusive with the linked NFC card option. So unfortunately I will need to ditch the mobile fares entirely, because I do not wish to be constantly tethered to my mandatory smartphone if I simply wish to ride a bus somewhere.
