The public transit routes are there, but not the timetables. To my understanding, those wouldn't be a good fit with OSM's goals / being a geo information system. Basically third party client apps will have to combine that kind of info from different sources.

OSM is a wonderful project and something I support.
Help out by mapping your local area with the StreetComplete app. It's like PokemonGo, but actually helpful.

As a side note, some of you may be interested in the EU Funding & Tenders Portal, where such projects like the Fediversity receive grants.

So will they add public transit directions? That's the main reason why I still use Google Maps.

This years budget of the foundation is GBP 651.900,00. So this will help them a lot.

I don't think that the goal is for Germany to fund the entire project, but it helps. Other parties can also chip in.

I don't think OSM is paying coastal US corporate salaries lol

I'm sure if we all dunk on it they'll start to give more.
