Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: UofG Arboretum Experience at 5.0 against Transit's 4.4. UofG Arboretum Experience also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 11). Transit's advantage is ratings volume (44 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 8 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
