Very early PoC implementing the “stoptimes” endpoint in MOTIS in Maps for (eventually) displaying departures/arrivals for public transit stations/stops from Transitous

Just rolled the RC tarballs for Maps and libshumate for the upcoming GNOME 50 relase

gnome-maps 50.rc
libshumate 1.6.rc

Changes include support for getting localized results for public transit routing (using Transitous).

#MOTIS just got support for SIRI-FM (FM = Facility Monitoring)! 😎

This means #Transitous will gain real-time updates for elevators for indoor and public transport transfer routing with the next MOTIS release! 🎉 🎉

On the screenshots you see how the routing finds a way around the blocked elevator (yellow dots = working elevator, pink dots = blocked elevator) in Berlin main station with the wheelchair routing profile 👩‍🦽‍➡️

Thanks to @mfdz for providing the DIID vs OSM matching table 🙏

I'm looking for an Android or Linux app that uses Transitous and supports foreign scripts and multilingual station names.

I tried GNOME Railway and MOTIS web and realized they both fail when looking up foreign (e.g. mixed Cyrillic and Latin or Arabic and Cyrillic) station name transcriptions.

Use case : Typing "Берлин" when looking for "Berlin Hbf".

Any recommendations for apps ?

Now that the new release of MOTIS with translation support has been deployed for Transitous, I implemented support for passing the language of user's locale(s) to the API.
This shows an itinerary rendered in Japanese and in the second example with romanized names (this relies on translation.txt being present in the corresponding GTFS feed data, though).

I had a travel dream where I was in the wrong NSW country town. This time I knew I had my #FLX1s with Gnome Maps and #Transitous, so it's easy to find out how to take a bus back. Then I woke up and checked, yes, that would have worked fine.

Yeah, I coulda just used Google Maps, but apparently that's not reassuring enough to occur to my subconscious.

Following the Railways and Open Transport track at #FOSDEM 2024 #Transitous got started. Just two years later Transitous is mentioned in more than a fourth of the talks there today.
