@jj Access to information makes this very very hard outside a big company, I've tried to get access to the realtime metro apis for Melbourne (to make a screen that told me when to leave lol) and never went through with it because of the shear amount of paperwork involved in getting a single JWT...

@monoxane @jj @amyisard @arianvp @noodlemaz You don’t need real time. It’s not as if we have any real time data in Berlin for anything. Also the algorithms by now are more than tractable and the volumes of data that you’re talking about quite modest.

@monoxane @jj @amyisard @alper @arianvp @noodlemaz it depends on where, e.g. the us requires all agencies to publish static gtfs feeds, and many also publish free realtime feeds in gtfs-rt. for the nyc subway they're linked, no auth required, from https://api.mta.info/#/subwayRealTimeFeeds
