GTFS-Schedule

Be on time for your next public transport service.

Motivation

What time do I need to leave the office to minimize waiting time for my train?

The command is intended to be invoked frequently in a status bar (such as xmobar) showing next departing services for one particular stop.

The command shows remaining minutes in order to leave the current spot (e.g. office) to minimize the waiting time at the bus or train stop.

Features

Note that most of these features have never been tested with a wide range of audience, so take this list with a grain of salt:

• automatically update the static data set to keep an always up-to-date schedule

• real time updates supported (some features are not supported by the actual real time feeds):

  • delays

  • congestion information

  • occupancy status

Non Goals
