Focus of transitous on routing or public transport data?

Open anbraten opened this issue 11 months ago • 8 comments

As the readme stated, transitous aims to be a routing service:

A community-run provider-neutral international public transport routing service.

Will transitous (maybe motis is already doing that, but couldn't find anything in the docs) provide additional data like stop_times, trips, gbfs station data like deep-links to rent a vehicle and so on or is this out of scope.

Background:

For an OSS app (similar might be of interest to other apps, websites as well) we are showing realtime data from various different sources like gtfs, gtfs-rt, gbfs, ... and would be really interested instead of developing our own database / data-hub work on an open community project collecting and sharing this data.

For testing I've recently started a small project importing gtfs, gtfs-rt and gbfs feeds into a postgis database which provides data via rest and sends updates via websocket as well: https://github.com/kiel-live/transport-hub (something like this might also be interesting for having a dashboard / showing coverage of the transitious sources)
