Transit data on Google Maps in Sydney Australia has been broken for ages. It's correct (and more clearly illustrated) in Apple Maps.

What's broken with it? Seems to be working fine here.

What I have noticed is that the satellite view for Sydney is over 3 years old.


Satellite (actually aerial) images are very expensive to collect and not all that useful.

Oddly, until recently Brisbane's satellite maps on Google were over a decade old even though it showed a current year copyright. More up to date on Apple Maps, except it doesn't have Brisbane in 3D, even though it does have Gold Coast.
