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?
Would be perfect post end of January for next FOSDEM.

Really nice! The place names are a little hard to read especially in dark mode, other than that great job! Thanks for sharing!
Great companion to https://irail.be, a minimalist counterpart to this site, also based on open data.

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