I'd love a list of other services like this - or even more ambitiously executed than this - globally. I'd bet there are some really interesting uses of open transport data.

Real cool, thanks for the link! Wish we had something similar for our national railway network here in neighboring Romania.

And one good thing that will be brought by us (Romania) finally getting into Schengen this year (God- and Austria-permit) would be that the rail connections between Romania and Hungary would become much more common, especially the regional ones. I can see a Salonta - Békéscsaba ride on this map that I had no idea about, hopefully we'll get much more of those into the future.

Would love to see something similar for Switzerland. This page (referred to in another thread): https://maps.vasile.ch/transit-sbb/ is NOT a live map, just an animation based on timetable data.

There were a couple of instances last summer where SBB went belly up (remember that day when a locomotive caught fire while standing still at Altstetten station?), and total chaos ensued. It'd be nice to see which trains are late (in realtime) and which routes to take to avoid problem spots. Around Zurich you usually have at least 2-3 options between points A and B, so people could just be rerouted to the next best route.
