Awesome! Looking at the metro stop near me here in Brussels, the trains seemed stuck for a while at the station. Not impossible this was just real :) Great way to admire the density and connectivity of our public transport!!
I just figured out that on Mallorca, the busses are shown like that on Google Maps. Which to me was mind blowing. I had never seen it, it's so convenient.
This is well made, would love to have this in my own country as I can never trust the actual timers on the bus stops.
How do you get access to the data? Is it a public government API? How did you manage to map all the routes too?
There's a "sources" button at the bottom left that seems to appear at certain zoom levels.

Fascinating... I have a thing with maps. Does the information come from a central server that runs some open-source protocol for public transport, or is this gathered from different endpoints in different formats?
Similar real time traffic map for Switzerland <https://maps.trafimage.ch/ch.sbb.netzkarte?baselayers=ch.sbb...>
Similar map for the Netherlands: http://ovzoeker.nl/

Would be perfect post end of January for next FOSDEM.
Great companion to https://irail.be, a minimalist counterpart to this site, also based on open data.

Really nice! The place names are a little hard to read especially in dark mode, other than that great job! Thanks for sharing!

Soon we'll be needing a live map of all the live maps in the world.
Wow very useful thank you !
