Five weeks in and #Transitous' coverage in Europe is filling up nicely. There are big ČD- and MÁV-shaped holes still though, pointers to #GTFS feeds very welcome :)

And here is Hungary a few hours later :)

@VolkerKrause Oh I love the project, we desperately need cross-border public transport planning! I already managed to get it to 504 though, seems it has a bit of trouble doing longer trips across borders 😅

Is this going to be integrated into KTrip?

@bart Please add the affected routes/scenarios to https://github.com/motis-project/motis/issues/471, this is being worked on :)

Integration with KPublicTransport (and thus KTrip/Itinerary) should be ready in time for 24.05. It's already fully implemented, just not enabled by default yet.

I'll use this issue to collect examples of places with performance issues, in case someone has time to look at them / debug them. There is some bottleneck in the middle of the journey, were very li...

@VolkerKrause Awesome!

How is Motis related to Transitous though? I got the error on https://routing.spline.de which is linked on the Transitous repo, but seems to be running Motis?
It also needs some translation fixes though, lots of texts are German only 😅

MOTIS

@bart MOTIS (https://motis-project.de) is the routing engine used by Transitous. The UI is mostly an "engineering UI" I'd say, also coming from MOTIS. Ideally we'd get a user-focused web UI for this at some point, but for many involved parties the API is probably more important for now, for use in the respective FOSS apps.
MOTIS Project

MOTIS is an intermodal travel information system that supports GTFS Real-Time. It is open source and provides a HTTP JSON API, web and Android app.

@VolkerKrause I don't fully understand what Transitous is then I think 😅
It's README doesn't really explain it either

@bart Transitous is the service and MOTIS is the software.

Just like what Wikipedia is to Mediawiki.

@Jbb Ah, that makes sense. But then what is the code in the Transitous repo for?
@bart @Jbb It's a collection of GTFS feed urls + CI tooling to import them in MOTIS
@carlschwan @Jbb Ah cool that explains a lot, thanks!
@VolkerKrause, also a big gap in #Slovenia too 
NAP - National Traffic Management Centre

The national access point for traffic data, where users can access verified and reliable traffic and infrastructure data.

@VolkerKrause, far from my expertise, but seems like it yes.

@anze , ideas?

@hook @anze Slovenian data has appeared as well meanwhile, railway as well as local busses it seems :)
@VolkerKrause is there a way to force the companies to provide complete gtfs Realtime and flex data? Just because there are no obvious white holes in the map doesn't mean your feeds cover all possible transports in the best way possible. Would be great to have real Realtime positions instead of calculated positions on the map and the on demand services, scooters and bikes. As soon as there is construction all bets are off usually.

@taketwo The regulations in this area seem to be rather weak on the enforcement side unfortunately.

We do have realtime data in some areas, but it is indeed not as widely available yet as static schedules. GBFS data (bikes, scooters, etc) is a bit more common, but we don't have that enabled yet, that needs OSM routing integration set up first.

And yes, just filling the white holes isn't enough obviously. It does help us with an immediate problem of hitting some edge cases in the router though.
