OSM performance really depends on your location. In my entire country, there’s like TWO people (not me) contributing 99% of data. As you can imagine, there’s no real time info and lots of stuff lacking.
Public transport is also very dependent on location, both countries I’ve lived in recently didn’t have integration.
Edit: I love that somebody downvoted me for stating objective verifiable facts. Dude, get a life.
That might actually be a good bot project; just slowly going through Google maps and trying to update missing information from OSM like road type, lane width, etc.
Hence why I specified OSM being better in densely populated regions! It is a good point that, depending where you live, OSM could be a pretty inaccurate mapping tool. If you want, you could help contribute to OSM for your region! (There’s a few apps available that gameifies it if you’re into that)
In Hong Kong, where I grew up in, everything is well mapped and all the MTR stations are labeled. And during my short trip to Germany, I was able to find a relatively obscure restaurant in Munich.

I live in a 20M city, it’s pretty densely populated :)
Yeah, I did make some contributions to OSM but eventually dropped out due to not actually using it myself.
