We're getting closer to the next #MOTIS release 😎

The next version will display stops on the map. The "highest" mode (high speed, long distance, local trains, metro, subway, trams, buses) will be used for the stop icon. Clicking on the stop will show its departure times.

I hope this feature will help with orientation when searching for the next bus stop :-)

The next #MOTIS version will have leg alternatives! 😎

So in case the transfer is a bit tight or if you prefer another mode of transport, you can click on the alternative and the MOTIS UI will update the journey. This includes potentially a different walk/bike/car/etc. ride from/to another stop at the start/destination. So it's also a way to explore more options to start/finish your journey.

Alternatives respect query settings like bike carriage, allowed modes, wheelchair compatibility, etc.

Made some more progress on the implementation of the “stoptimes” API from MOTIS in Maps.
Now actually showing departures (or arrivals) in the place details when clicking on a “public transit-type“ place (station etc.), when there's data available in Transitous.
The rows still only shows the transit mode icon and line number/name (e.g. missing time, destination and so on…)

Ich bin jetzt endlich dazugekommen, mein aktuelles Hobby-Projekt zu veröffentlichen:
https://route.lw1.at/

Seit ich letztes Jahr #Transitous (@transitous) und #MOTIS gefunden habe, wollte ich sehen, ob ich damit eine eigene Öffi-Routing Plattform machen kann. Und ob ich, indem ich mich nur auf Österreich fokussiere, die Datenqualität verbessern und somit das beste Tool für Öffi-Verbindungen in Österreich erreichen kann.

Hier gibt es mehr Infos:

It's not perfect, but I have been using it most of the time when getting around Vienna and Austria this year and I already like it more than every other platform.
I'm also still impressed by how extremely fast #MOTIS is compared to Wien Mobil or ÖBB Scotty while recommending connection that are at least as good.

I finally got around to publishing my latest hobby-project:

https://route.lw1.at/

Ever since first learning about #transitous (@transitous) and #MOTIS last year, I was curious if I could make my own public transport routing platform based on them. And if by focusing just on Austria I can experiment with improving the data quality and get the best tool for finding public transport connections in Austria.

Experimenting with showing platform information for the public transit itineraries in Maps (when available from datasets).
Maybe these labels spelling out "Departing from…" and so on are a bit "wordy"…

Shoutout to @mapterhorn for those nice terrain tiles. Hill shading looks really nice in the #MOTIS UI!

I hope, we'll have this soon on @transitous 😎
