The trains should be about the same in either one since they come from a vendor (Jorudan), but the station info and walking times inside the station come from the maps companies.

Though I haven't used Google Maps there in a while, maybe they stopped using Jorudan.

Yes, I didn't mean to imply they have different information about the trains, rather that how they present the information in the UI was (is) markedly different.
