We're working on live public transport schedules as the first step to public transport routing. Here is the helper web app that shows currently supported GTFS feeds in different countries and cities and helps to match bus/tram/train stops from OpenStreetMap.org with stops from GTFS: https://gtfs-osm-matcher.organicmaps.app/
If you are interested in public transport schedules in your city, please let us know about feeds for your place/country, and help by adding/editing stops in OpenStreetMap.org

@organicmaps why not using something like Transitous?

@yotamn we’re checking different options. To compete with e.g. Google, live PT routing should scale well for millions of users. And of course the privacy aspect.

@organicmaps @yotamn transitious is open source, you are redoing all the work to use and find gtfs feeds. Both of you could safe massive time by cooperating

@organicmaps @yotamn @shadowwwind yeah I don't understand why they're not collaborating

@shadowwwind @yotamn we have different goals. To scale PT for a billion of users, routes should be calculated in Organic Maps app, not on a server.

@organicmaps @yotamn you can probably still use their parser, knowledge, routing engine and collection of feed urls
