Heute ab 19:00 würde ich Mal auf https://stream.iamjannik.me/ den aktuellen Stand vom #jamboris-Projekt zeigen und eventuell ein wenig weiterhacken (vor allem am Feature, dass bei "Köln" nicht nur "Köln Hbf" sondern auch "Köln Deutz/Messe" gesucht wird).
Freue mich auf euch <3

#transitous

At the @transitous Hack Weekend last week at @wikimediaDE's WikiBär we looked at integrating #NeTEx schedule data and SIRI-FM/SX elevator status data into #Transitous, among many other things: https://volkerkrause.eu/2026/01/17/transitous-hack-weekend-january-2026.html

#OpenTransport

As a few members of the #MOTIS team happen to be in town we'll have a #Transitous Hack Weekend this week Friday-Sunday at @wikimediaDE's WikiBär in Berlin.

It's quite spontaneous, but if you happen to be in Berlin as well and are interested in Transitous or adjacent topics, feel free to join us!

More information on https://github.com/public-transport/transitous/wiki/Transitous-Hack-Weekend-Berlin,-January-2026, get in touch here or in the Transitous Matrix channel for coordination.

A few notes on what I did and learned at #39C3: https://volkerkrause.eu/2026/01/04/39c3.html

Particularly excited about upcoming NeTEx/SIRI data with facility status and deck layout information, that should enable some new possibilities in #Transitous and thus in #KDE Itinerary.

Just tagged Maps 50.alpha and libshumate 1.6.alpha for GNOME 50:

Containing, among others, the new sidebar redesign, public transit journey redesign, using Transitous for all public transit routingm, and porting of UI templates to Blueprint for Maps.

And for libshumate the option to compile without the vector renderer has been removed, the vector renderer has gained support for "global-state" expressions.

We'll have meetup at #39C3 tomorrow (day 4) at 11:30 in the Free Knowledge Habitat. Join us if you are interested in using or contributing to #Transitous!

Did a talk about Transitous at Update Computer Club today (in Swedish) (also mentioning some clients implemeting the API, such as #gnomemaps #kdeitinerary #bimba )

I just discovered a quite nice open source #android app for #PublicTansport connection look up. It's called #Bimba and uses #Transitous api.

Kann man Leute hier nerdsnipen? Wenn du Bock auf ein bisschen Bahn-Daten-Coding hast, in PHP oder React fit bist, und Lust auf ein kleines Projekt hast, melde dich mal gerne. Es ist auch noch nicht so super dringend, und der einzige Kunde bin ich, darum

Anbei eine Übersicht über die Features, die ich gerne bauen würde:

#transitous #laravel #scouting

#MOTIS just got a lot faster! 🚀

With MOTIS 2.7.6 we introduced a new routing algorithm as an alternative to rRAPTOR which is on average ~2x faster.

In some examples on the #Transitous dataset, routing is even 10x faster 💥

API clients don't need to change anything. The responses are still the same - just faster 😀

The bar chart shows the speedup on the Great Britain dataset PONG=blue=new, rRAPTOR=red=old.

Here's some of the things I did at the recent #OSM Hack Weekends in Berlin at @wikimediaDE and Karlruhe at @geofabrik: https://volkerkrause.eu/2025/11/15/osm-hack-weekends-berlin-karlsruhe-october-november-2025.html

#OpenStreetMap #Transitous #KDE

Ich hab diverse Fragen zur #transitous-Routing Engine und zur Stationsdatenbank. Das fühlt sich alles an, als wüsste ich eine Basisfunktion noch nicht, und die ist aber wichtig um den Rest zu verstehen.
Vielleicht kann ich die bis zum Congress noch irgendwie verfestigen oder ich frage zwischendurch mal in einen Matrix Channel.

The newest #MOTIS release supports SIRI Light via JSON (tested with the BlaBlaCar bus feed). This should enable #Transitous to increase the RT coverage a little bit 😀

Slowly increasing the coverage of Transitous in the former Yugoslav area, one feed at a time :)

#transitous #motis

I'm experimenting with alternative strings for the #MOTIS / #Transitous geocoder 🚀

PoI data (e.g. from GTFS timetables) as well as user queries sometimes use abbreviations such as "Hbf" for "Hauptbahnhof" (main station).

In the next #MOTIS release, some strings (for now: hardcoded "Hbf" vs "Hauptbahnhof") will also show matches for alternatives.

If it works well, we can add more or even integrate an existing database 😀

(in the Screenshots below: before + after the change)

Bei @MrKrisKrisu auf @traewelling habe ich gelernt, dass Tramhaltestellen in Rom geschrien werden. 🤭😉

Gute Reise und grosses Danke für all' die Mühen mit dem Tool!

#OpenData #Transitous

Now with the latest MOTIS releases we can run pre-processing Lua scripts on GTFS feed data in Transitous.

I added a script to add route colors to some of the routes in the Swedish national feed from Trafiklab. Also set the route type for Landskrona's bus route 3 to trolley bus.

#transitous #motis #gnomemaps #gnome #LUA #PublicTransport #PublicTransport #tunnelbana #tram #trolleybus #mapstodon

So many wormholes in German real-time data on #Transitous https://api.transitous.org.

Additional trips going hundreds of kilometers in a few minutes. Those data errors render routing useless because it will always find those wormholes.

I guess we should implement filters in #MOTIS to eliminate additional real-time trips that have unreasonable speed.

@markstos Yes, thanks, that's a great and efficient way to update OSM files. We're planning to automate OSM updates for the global #Transitous setup this way.
