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 :)

@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!
