hehe. #Transitous has decided to show me place names in #Irish.

It's nice and sweet. But tourists might have problems.

Played around a bit with https://vahrplan.de/de/transitous, which gained @transitous support in June, apparently. Quite an interesting idea, feels light and snappy, comes up a bit short in several aspects but the really distinguishing bit is the chart view you can see in the screenshot here: you can visually compare all the options, see how they split, converge and pass each other in time and distance of transfer point to destination. I like it, though whether you will will likely depend on how nice you find this particular feature… Since here's the list of limitations:
- Connections in the list view are sorted by departure time, NOT arrival time. If you pick the first one, you may find yourself taking a slower route
- There's no way to search for stops or addresses in a particular city, which is sorta a problem when you now support large swathes of the world in one dataset 😅
- You can't select places from a map, either
- Only German language version

I think it's a good planner for the right person, and it does take into account real-time updates where Transitous has them - try it and see if it fits your use cases!

I dusted off an old idea to show duration for walking segments of public transit itineraries that I played with a year or so back.

Now that the list is using flowboxes, which can wrap contents to multiple lines when needed I think it will probably look better:

Digital Independence Day / Dia da Independência Digital

Rizoma, domingo, 7 de junho às 13:00 GMT+1

EN:

Our workshop series in which we liberate us from the shitty big tech monopolies.

You want to move away from Windows, Google, Apple, Instagram, Bluesky, Twitter, Whatsapp or any of the other big tech monopolies, but you are unsure how and what are the alternatives?

Or you know that already, but you rather want to make that step with others instead of alone?

You just want to discuss in depth what is the coolest of the many alternatives to a service?

Or you are already very deep into the topic and you just want to help others in making the change?

Come around, together we boycott big tech bit by bit.

We meet every first Sunday of the month and every time we replace one more app with a privacy respecting alternative.

Our next workshop starts

📅 on June 7th

🕐 at 13:00

📍 in the Co-Work @ Rizoma, Rua José Estêvão 4, 1150-192 Lisboa.

🆓 Admission is free.

👷 Agenda

• 13:00 Introduction, open discussion, help for early birds

• 13:45 - 14:00 short focus presentation on OpenStreetMap and Transitous as alternatives to Google Maps.

• In the rest of the workshop we just discuss whatever comes up and help each other with technical difficulties.

🧰🎒 What to bring

• Your devices: laptop 💻, smartphone 📱, ...

🐧 For people who want to change to Linux:

• Bring a computer on which you want to install Linux.

• Bring the appertaining charger with you.

• Bring a big external storage device with a backup of your data. (We recommend to make the backup beforehand).

Another little “side project”: putting some more on Sweden (“färgläggning”)…

Have spent some time lately to extend (and refactor) the Lua script that I wrote some time ago for post-processing the GTFS data from Trafiklab in Transitous. Especially in Kiruna, the likelyhood of the mapping from line name to color seems extra stable, and less likely to change… 😄

Got a bit further on the departures/arrivals view feature.

Now shows a toggle group with tranportation modes available for the selected station/stop (when there are multiple modes served at the location) allowing filtering what to show.

A few more details on the organizational work around #OpenTransport2026 and #Transitous from last week's #FOSSGIS community meeting: https://volkerkrause.eu/2026/05/09/fossgis-community-meeting-may-2026.html

Made some more progress on the implementation of the “stoptimes” API from MOTIS in Maps.
Now actually showing departures (or arrivals) in the place details when clicking on a “public transit-type“ place (station etc.), when there's data available in Transitous.
The rows still only shows the transit mode icon and line number/name (e.g. missing time, destination and so on…)

Und vielen Dank nochmal an #transitous, MOTIS und alle anderen, die daran arbeiten, Datensets wie #OSM und Tools für öffentliche Verkehrsmittel zu verbessern.
Immerhin ist route.lw1.at größtenteils nur eine Sammlung von den besten Open Source Tools und Open Data Datasets zu einer praktischen Webseite (und ein paar kleine Verbesserungen dabei).

Eine der größten Verbesserungen, die ich zusätzlich zu #Transitous erreichen wollte, war eine Sammlung der offiziellen Farben aller Öffi-Linien in Österreich.
Um nicht noch eine neue Datenbank zu erstellen, versuche ich fehlende Daten zu #OSM beizutragen und inspiriert von #PTNA (von @ToniE) die Tabelle aus den existierenden Daten in OSM und PTNA zu generieren.

Siehe hier für mehr Details:
https://git.lw1.at/lukas/route.lw1.at/src/branch/synced/main/color-data

Ich bin jetzt endlich dazugekommen, mein aktuelles Hobby-Projekt zu veröffentlichen:
https://route.lw1.at/

Seit ich letztes Jahr #Transitous (@transitous) und #MOTIS gefunden habe, wollte ich sehen, ob ich damit eine eigene Öffi-Routing Plattform machen kann. Und ob ich, indem ich mich nur auf Österreich fokussiere, die Datenqualität verbessern und somit das beste Tool für Öffi-Verbindungen in Österreich erreichen kann.

Hier gibt es mehr Infos:
https://about.route.lw1.at/
https://git.lw1.at/lukas/route.lw1.at

And many thanks to #transitous, MOTIS and everyone else working on related software and datasets like #OSM!
After all, route.lw1.at is essentially just me collecting everything great about Public Transport Open Source and Open Data together into one tool and fixing minor issues in the process.

One of the main improvements I tried to gather on top of #transitous is a collection of the colours of all public transport lines in Austria. To avoid creating one more database, I instead try to contribute missing information back to #OSM and inspired by #PTNA (by @ToniE), I derive the table from the existing data.

See here for more information:
https://git.lw1.at/lukas/route.lw1.at/src/branch/synced/main/color-data

I finally got around to publishing my latest hobby-project:

https://route.lw1.at/

Ever since first learning about #transitous (@transitous) and #MOTIS last year, I was curious if I could make my own public transport routing platform based on them. And if by focusing just on Austria I can experiment with improving the data quality and get the best tool for finding public transport connections in Austria.

Der @bvv kann deine Adresse öffentlich machen, aber nicht den Fakt, dass der Bus ausfällt.

#transitous schön und gut, aber wie soll man das nutzen, wenn die Fahrzeit um 56 Minuten zu früh angezeigt wird im Vergleich zu Realität?

Cool that Transitous now has schedule data for transit in Tbilisi, Georgia. In a couple of weeks it's exactly 15 years ago I was there on a work trip just about a month after started working for PrimeKey!

Would be kinda nice to visit again.

(I wanted to get a trip with one of the gondola (aerial way) lines for the screenshot, but got no results for that (I think they should be in the timetable data)

Experimenting with showing platform information for the public transit itineraries in Maps (when available from datasets).
Maybe these labels spelling out "Departing from…" and so on are a bit "wordy"…

Just rolled the RC tarballs for Maps and libshumate for the upcoming GNOME 50 relase

gnome-maps 50.rc
libshumate 1.6.rc

Changes include support for getting localized results for public transit routing (using Transitous).

Ride sharing, meta stations and SIRI-FM realtime elevator data for #Transitous, and a few improvements for #KDE Itinerary - some of the things we worked on during the #OSM Hack Weekend at @geofabrik in Karlsruhe last week: https://volkerkrause.eu/2026/02/28/osm-hack-weekend-karlsruhe-february-2026.html

I'm looking for an Android or Linux app that uses Transitous and supports foreign scripts and multilingual station names.

I tried GNOME Railway and MOTIS web and realized they both fail when looking up foreign (e.g. mixed Cyrillic and Latin or Arabic and Cyrillic) station name transcriptions.

Use case : Typing "Берлин" when looking for "Berlin Hbf".

Any recommendations for apps ?

Now that the new release of MOTIS with translation support has been deployed for Transitous, I implemented support for passing the language of user's locale(s) to the API.
This shows an itinerary rendered in Japanese and in the second example with romanized names (this relies on translation.txt being present in the corresponding GTFS feed data, though).

I had a travel dream where I was in the wrong NSW country town. This time I knew I had my #FLX1s with Gnome Maps and #Transitous, so it's easy to find out how to take a bus back. Then I woke up and checked, yes, that would have worked fine.

Yeah, I coulda just used Google Maps, but apparently that's not reassuring enough to occur to my subconscious.
