We have more detailed information on this on the timetable data page.

If you are missing a connection, you can also add it manually. You can find out how to do this under Features > Add trip manually.

The points system is somewhat complex - we have therefore created a separate page for it.

Träwelling brings people together who are travelling together on public transport.

Sometimes they are even travelling to the same event - without knowing it! That’s why we’ve added the event feature.

Via this form an event can be created for a specific time period. Check-ins can then be linked to the event.

⚠️ Please note: Events should offer added value for the entire community.

Good examples are

  • Railway events (e.g. last trip of the Metropolitan)
  • Hackerspace meetings (e.g. GPN)
  • LGBTQ events (e.g. Cologne Pride)

❌ We generally reject smaller, local events such as Christmas markets or city festivals - but exceptions are possible.

You can find out more under Features > Events.

Träwelling is a free check-in service.

You can:

  • tell your friends where you are travelling,
  • document your journeys on public transport and
  • collect points.

In short: you check in on trains and get points for it. 🚆

Every person uses Träwelling differently. Some use it as a logbook, others to document their journeys. Or as proof for the tax office for tax reasons.

Träwelling is an open source project that many people have been working on since 2013, sometimes with small bug fixes, sometimes with large features.

You can find the list of contributors on GitHub.

Some people have also supported us with the alpha version: you can find them here.

Nice! Träwelling is open source - anyone can join in.

You can find all the information on our GitHub page.

You can:

  • implement your own ideas,
  • pick tasks from our issues,
  • simply create a pull request.

We look forward to every contribution - no matter how small or large!

The name is a reference to the well-known railway phrase:
“Senk ju for träwelling wis Deutsche Bahn. “

Almost everyone knows this from long-distance transport. 😄
