Google does not provide any such facility. You can of course ask for directions using transit, and those directions will take arrival times into account. You can also get a list of arrival times if you tap on a specific bus station, which is useful in some circumstances, but you won't get a quick list of arrival times at all the stations near you. Which would be better if you're trying to decide between several options. Google should probably steal this feature, because it's really cool.
Integration with Apple's ecosystem
i'm a fan of messing around apple shortcutAutomation platform built into Apple devices. For example: I added a “Save My Parking Spot” button to my phone's home page. I couldn't create a shortcut like that for Google Maps because Google doesn't offer any kind of Apple Shortcuts integration. This is just one example of how Google doesn't go out of its way to integrate with Apple's ecosystem.
And then there are integrations built into Apple apps and features. The Calendar app on my Mac and iPhone opens Maps by default when I tap an address. Siri uses Maps by default if I ask for directions. If an Apple app provides directions this will work through Apple Maps. You can certainly call it unfair, but Google does the same thing on Android. Google Maps is tightly integrated with the rest of the company's mobile OS, and that integration could make life easier for people who use those native services.
It's just cleaner

Over time, more and more content has been put on Google Maps. Nothing is more evident than opening both apps and seeing the contrast. Apple Maps has fewer toolbars, fewer buttons, and in my opinion the geographic context offered on the map itself is more likely to be useful (probably because, unlike Google, there are fewer of them with paid ads).
Now, I'm hardly the first person to point out that the Apple app is cleaner than the Google app, and I'll be the first to admit that the extent of this difference is subjective. But I think Apple's design does a better job of staying out of your way, which matters when you're just trying to get around.
My pointing out these things does not imply that Google Maps does Nothing Better than Apple Maps. Google's platform has a big head start in terms of information about businesses, for one thing, and even after a decade Apple hasn't been able to catch up. I especially noticed this during a recent trip to Peru, where Apple Maps was basically useless. I'm sure people will contact me about other things Google does better, which is fine. All I mean to say is that Apple Maps is pretty good now and in some ways I actually find it better than Google Maps.
If you haven't tried Apple Maps in a while, I recommend you do. You may be surprised.
