Learn about an innovative open routing service for public transportation in this 42-minute conference talk from the 38th Chaos Communication Congress (38C3). Explore how Transitous aims to solve the challenges faced by independent public transit apps that are limited by fragmented operator APIs and incomplete data coverage. Discover how the project leverages newer open-source intermodal routing engines like MOTIS and the increasing availability of public transit schedules in GTFS and GTFS-RT formats to provide comprehensive route planning. Understand the current limitations of existing community routing solutions that focus primarily on bicycles, cars, or pedestrians, and see how Transitous addresses the need for unified public transit routing across longer distances. Follow along as speaker Jonah Brüchert presents the project's achievements and discusses future development opportunities and potential applications.
