I am aware of the guide on their github

https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/blob/master/docs/EXPERIMENTAL_PUBLIC_TRANSPORT_SUPPORT.md

But that is not something I would want to do for myself, much less so the people I usually recommend OM to :/

Is it just the lack of UI/UX or is there actually a quality issue regarding the GTFS/OSM source data?

I would assume that it's neither a UI issue nor a problem with the source data, but rather a limitation of the routing engine.

Looking at your link, it does seem to say that support is experimental.

yeah here is hoping that it comes along and becomes the default

I get "Metro Navigation in this region is not available yet" (region is Northern England, UK) from Organic Maps.

OSMand says "Unfortunately OsmAnd could not find a route suitable for your settings."

The Open Street Map website itself only gives foot, bicycle, car as possible options for directions.

I think the info just isn't there yet.
