#92Nice! Would be more realistic (and more Mini Metro-like) if the trains actually stopped at the stations though. Also, the trains don't have to disappear and reappear at the terminal stations, they could just stay there until they are scheduled to go back - after all, that's what they do in reality as well... Any chance that the source could be made available ;) ?

#94I really like it! Well done! - As others have mentioned, it seems dodgy on Firefox. The button to switch between U-Bahn and S+U mode doesn't seem to work at all on Safari (?) - Completely unreasonable request, but it would be cool if it were to show the current engineering works - i.e. the U1 not running, and the temporary U12 taking over the western U2 and U1 If anyone else is a urban railways geek, then may I intro…

Author of hafas-client here! Do you know about v5.vbb.transport.rest's /radar API [1]? Because it wraps VBB's de-facto-open unofficial API [2][3], it doesn't require authentication or even signing a contract. If you have problems using it, please get in touch with me!

Hi, I know you! You're hard to miss when working on public transportation. Very happy to see you're looking at my project! I sent you an email. v5.vbb.transport.rest's frames were missing something I needed, if I recall correctly. With a fork of hafas-client, I got something to work okay. I was going to release it too, but then I realised I should use another user agent than 'my-awesome-program' which only VBB can pr…

It would be great if you could create an Issue in hafas-client about this, so everyone can benefit from the changes.

If you're talking about hafas-client: No, you can use anything! It's merely about being transparent towards VBB who/what is using their API, but they don't have to approve it beforehand; They can't in fact, because the "mobile" HAFAS API just uses a static auth token.

#96Extremely slow for some reason in Firefox on Mac OS for me
Same here. A profile suggests that most native time is spent rendering the backdrop shadow of the text rendered to the canvas, and most of the remaining CPU time is spent on the drawText Javascript call.
Looks like Mozilla has something to optimize!

Oh okay. Here is an old version of Ubähnchen with the toggle for "live mode / planned mode" on the top right: https://ubahnchen-inona1te6-lzear.vercel.app/?live
The URL parameter still works in the current version by the way.
When I changed 'my-awesome-program' to 'ubahnchen' or something else when creating the hafas-client, it stopped getting valid responses. So I thought I should wait for VBB to give me an ID that works.

#98Reminds me of the official live map "Livekarte" at https://www.vbb.de/fahrinfo/

For those like me who just see a regular map, click on "Livekarte & Multi-Mobilität" on the right, then "Livekarte", and then "An".

#100Very nice. Given the smoothness, I first thought this was real-time:) As someone who lives in Berlin, I didn't know there was an open API for the VBB. I'll have to have a look at it. And loving the Minimetro vibes! (Running this on android 10 on a OnePlus 7pro - runs smooth in Chrome)
Yeah the ridiculous speed confused me for a little bit before I saw the “x50“ up in the corner.
This is really great, and despite saying it’s desktop optimized it worked great on my iPhone.
Love it.
