I began developing a Python library for Transitous a few days ago, but it appears to lack real-time data (a key aspect of MultiModal) in my area. As a result, I’m uncertain about how useful it might actually be.
I can see the RPM in the chum rtepository in a browser, but Chum GUI does not list @poetaster version as available for my XA2. There is no compatibility with such a device?
do you mean the Multi-modal rpm? It’s noarch so it makes no difference what device. Are you running 4.6? You can test to see if it’s available using the ‘testing’ repos, but I’d just wait, the latest version is not in chum proper yet. If you have issues, you can also directly download an rpm from github:
EDIT: to test I explicitly set chum gui to ‘testing’ and installed from there. That’s how I test if it’s ready to go to chum ‘proper’.
Yeah, I am running Sauna 4.6.0.15. So I guess I would need to enable developer updates to observe your build of Fahrplan2 in Chum GUI.
Sorry, I haven’t made any updates to Fahrplan yet. I had just made quick updates to Multimodal as an alternative. Fixing the dbahn backend in Fahrplan is going to take some time. In fact, I might just develop a new app instead.
Ok. Hmmm. The realtime traffic stuff on the routing.spline.de site seemed realtime 
But I should just ask, ‘which data’? I’ll do some fast and dirty prototyping with pure qml/js just to see how well it matches on routing.
But I should just ask, ‘which data’?
Big Data Google Kraken 
I think Motis/Transitous were created to AVOID google But, I think all the data ends up in the great big pot of bitrot soup eventually. This is good. It will poison the LLMs

Do you mean if a departure/arrival is late and the like?
Yes, or when a train is cancelled, which happens often enough here.
These are 2 different data points. GTFS is industry standard to share data about timetables and routes, and quite a lot of these are available as open data. Data about vehicle position isn’t always available since not all transport companies publish it.
There is https://busmaps.com/, where publicly available data points are published.
Hmmm i liked fahrplan app. It is a pity does it not work at all.

Hi
I usually use the bahn.de backend which was working but notice that this has started returning a message “An error occurred with the backend”. (Fahrplan Version 2.0.46-1)
I see that Multimodal App which uses the Deutsch Bahn API (bahn.de ?) has just posted an update to "fix authentication issues with Deutsche Bahn API.
The 9292ov.nl backend doesn’t seem to be returning any results (London St Pancras to Lille Europe) although the results page shows Dep. Arr. Dur. Trans. column headings.
Happy to do what I can to test a pre-release. (Xperia 10 iii and 10V)

Thanks @poetaster for all previous development and for plans to implement Transitous.
On Android I’ve tested it with Bimba and it works reasonably well (and it does not have full implementation of GTFS-data). I’m not a heavy user and have seen only couple of connectivity breakdowns.
Also Transportr is having a thread Worldwide routing with transitous.org · Issue #954 · grote/Transportr · GitHub about using Transitous and there are some background comments about the project (don’t know if true or not).
I’m working on a new api backed fix for the bahn.de backend. It’ll take me some time, but it’s a fairly simple api

Delfi or efa as backend for fahrplan would be great.

There are a number of efi backends. Munich,among others.I’m not sure what the advantage of Delfi?
I can’t say which is the best option or the best backend for the app. I’m just a user and would be happy to be able to use this app again. I find importing the trips into the calendar really useful and the app was always very quick and easy to use. I already enjoyed using it on my Nokia N9.

you can use the austrian öbb backend for the ice routes at least
