Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: WheresTheBus at 20K against Trojan Map's 4. WheresTheBus also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 8 months). Trojan Map's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
