alt Hacker News > Google Maps doesn't have all the operators
Regarding booking train tickets, I normally recommend that people use a major, domestic tourist agency, such as JTB. The majors will have English language support. For a small fee, they can print the tickets and mail them to you, or you can pickup at an office upon arrival in Japan. For obvious reasons, they can also accept foreign credit cards.
Seriously? I shouldn't have to use a tourist agency to buy a train ticket...
> Can you give an example?
In the Kanazawa area, almost all buses operating there were missing. I also don't know how, but they seem to have like 4+ different bus operators for such a small town. I also tried building a solution for myself using the available GTFS feeds, but unsurprisingly almost none were available (thus it's not really Google Maps' fault).
