Apple Maps Defaults to Transit Directions on iPhone

I have checked the Apple Maps preferences/settings and "Driving" is the selected preference on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. But on my iPhone Apple Maps always defaults to "Transit" directions, on the Mac and iPad it defaults to "Driving". Any ideas how to fix?


I have a 12 Pro Max and I'm on iOS 16.0.

I had the same problem and selected driving as my preferred method in my settings but didn’t see any change from transit once I went to maps. Then I noticed in the upper section of the map I still had the icon of the transit bus showing. Once I clicked on that I was given the option to choose my preferred method to driving and it stuck.
