Belgium Gains Real-Time Transit Information for Apple Maps
Apple Maps users in Belgium now have access to real-time transit information, offering information on whether a train is on time or possibly facing a delay, as reported by iCulture.
Transit information has been available in Belgium since November of 2018; however, real-time data is new. With real-time information, users can now more easily plan their commutes based on actual transit run-times rather than simply what's scheduled.

I live in The Netherlands, which still has the bad old map. In my neighborhood it still shows an outline of a building that was demolished in 2010. In the town I used to live in it still shows a part of the neighborhood as a park (green) while it is not a park but just a block of houses.
