I only see a blank screen (with a green button "zurück zu KielRegion Mobility") both in Chrome and Firefox?

[kaffeeringe → codethief]

That's strange. Do yo block JavaScript or something?

[codethief → kaffeeringe]

I don't

I wanted to do something similar however, I could not find the Real time API. Where do you get the data?

[kaffeeringe → Ilikeruby]

There is a not yet public API. But there's a law in Germany that should make this kind of data available in a central "Mobilithek".

Mobilitätsdatenverordnung (MDV)

And I think there's even something in the EU on the way.

Stock Yandex Maps app can show the public transport directly on the map with a push of one button, in cities where it has that info.

I remember Google Maps also having real-time information about public transport but I'm not sure if it can display actual buses on the map.

Meanwhile this one seems HN-flooded.

This is awesome. Love that there are also e-scooters included. Would be cool to see which provider the e-scooter belongs to, but anyway... I miss my hometown from time to time. <3

Not sure if this is slow because of HN load or if my browser is struggling to render all the scooters. Maybe they should be hidden on loading the app.

[humanistbot → jollyllama]

If you zoom out, you'll see this is not just for a city, but a very broad region, almost the entire state of Schleswig-Holstein. Cool, but scooters should probably be disabled from loading as well until requested.

Kiel has actually grown on me. I like that city a lot.
