I actually happen to have tried Cartes somewhat recently, having been linked there from somewhere on Fedi, and found the stop view, with each line having a timeline with ticks marking departure times particularly interesting and original. One of the most compact tools for assessing bus headways I've seen:

(Now, for anyone interested, they do only support places in France right now)

La première carte nationale des transports

Nous publions le premier plan interactif des transports en commun français. Zoomez où vous voulez pour afficher les lignes de bus, de tram, de métro et bientôt de train du réseau local.
A screenshot from the linked blog post I've taken the liberty to republish for commentary - cartes.app showing a bus stop with at least 3 bus lines - for each line, the number, direction, next departures (going like "in 20 mins | 55 min | 20:40 | 21:05") and a timeline divided at 8 AM and 8 PM into day and nighttime are shown. Under each timeline is a mass of gray tick marks corresponding to bus departures - here notably empty between 2 AM and roughly 10 AM and then mostly equally spaced. One bus line is expanded and also shows a more orthodox timetable with per-hour columns showing minutes of departure times, and also a notice that there are multiple possible termini.
