At Träwelling, we currently use Transitous as our only data source. Transitous is an open source database that collects and provides timetable data from various transport companies. Unfortunately, not every transport company has the same license for its data. We have now implemented most of the common data licenses in order to be able to use the data from Transitous.

In addition, there are some transport companies for which the license is not clear in advance. In this case, we cannot use the data because we cannot be sure whether the license allows it.

Active data sources 🔗

We currently have a large number of data sources that we can use. Some of these are licensed via publicly known licenses, others we had to activate manually because no license is specified. You can find the current list of active data sources here: https://traewelling.de/debug/motis-sources

Help us 🔗

If you notice that data from a transport company is missing, even though their license allows you to use it, you are welcome to help us. Simply create an Issue on GitHub and we will add the data source.

We need the following information so that we can successfully integrate the license:

• Name of the transport company
• Link to the license
• Link to the data (e.g. GTFS feed)
• Link to the data on Transitous (optional, but helpful)
• (If proprietary license:) Excerpt from the license that allows the use of the data

Thank you for your support!
