Monday, 7pm. The weather is bad, your day wasn’t really great and you just want to get home. So you quickly go to Ostkreuz station just to see
"S85 Zug fällt aus"?
Well, this happens a lot. (Sometimes due to understandable reasons and sometimes because… yes?)
That’s why s85.berlin exists.
This Golang application gets data from transport.rest every minute to check whether the most-important™ sub-urban railway line of Berlin S85 is running or not and is displaying it on a simple webpage.
The station data of Baumschulenweg station is used to have the best result.
