OpenStreetMap (I use organicmaps as a client) is not a viable alternative to me when there is no reviews and no information about departure times. Are there any alternatives that are open-source?
HereWeGo probably the best till now but not open-source.
Edit: wrong spelling of OpenStreetMap
It’s called OpenStreetMap, the last character is P, it’s singular.
For reviews there are multiple ongoing projects, none of them is mature enough for everyday use, they have a very few content:
There was a long and very interesting thread about this last year on the osm forum: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/a-crowd-sourced-review-service-for-openstreetmap/136235/24
For timetables, it’s an existing standard called GTFS, public transport companies should publish their timetables in this format. Transportr is a mature app which supports a lot of companies and cities: https://transportr.app/
CoMaps (a better fork of OrganicMaps) already have a lot of issues about integrating GTFS feeds, e.g. https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/issues/1651
Is GTFS short for Get The Fucking Schedule?
I want it to be true.
General Transit Feed Specification
I suggest a common theme among abbreviations: GetTheFuckingGTFO
Why bot both?
sadly Transportr’s European coverage is woeful according to their map :/
There was an update when they disabled a lot of cities for some reason. I remember I could use it in my city, but now it’s not supported…
I haven’t heard about Bimba before, @dafunkkk@lemmy.world recommended here, it seems it has better coverage.
Thank you it does show local stations, though from what I see their web journey planner is under construction :)
Amazing! Thank you for your comment and allthis informations.
