Check out Kiel, Germany. Neubaugebiet Suchsdorf an der Au.
Google Maps has the data from 2011 on their maps, missing entire streets that have been added since.
At least they have 2011 maps now, before 2014 their maps were from 2004. The entire district was missing.
They did update satellite imagery in early 2017, finally, before that it had been un-updated since 2005.

Actually, all that data is publicly available online, and the transit authority has a public REST API. Just not in the format Google demands.

I assume that's the one north-east of the city center (Google wants to send me to Ottendorf first). Hm, comparing Google Maps to Here maps, the two look pretty identical - here maps has a few more footpaths. Openstreetmap seems to agree.

Yeah, I wish. This is a highly shattered provider landscape, some provide no data at all (HNV), some provide some data (MVV), some provide data in an usable format against cash (Bahn after a certain, very low limit) ... some of it is real-time while other is "probably as good as a guess".

A very important part there is a tiny change where a major road was closed off, and due to the Google Maps fault, hundreds of people, including police, and money transporters, got stuck there over the years.
Thanks to a lot of complaints, that tiny part got finally fixed last year, but the missing roads around that are still unchanged.
