> * Why are the maps still so bad in so many parts of the world? Google maps does not know how to get from downtown Paris to Paris Disneyland by public transport. Google maps does not have public transportation info in Istanbul THE LARGEST CITY IN EUROPE!

I know that there's a lot of deals that need to be made for public transportation data. I think the philosophy is if google can't get high quality data (notably: real time data that has things like delays and line shutdowns) for times of public transportation, they won't integrate it.

The goal being to make sure that all the content is as high quality as possible, and not send people down the wrong way
