Hi fewieden!

first off all, thanks for this module, will be very useful for Viennese people.
I found small issue with the module. Seems, response from WienerLinien is not the same for all types of transport.

Check response for RBL: 4414 vs 199

therefore module gets bigger (size-wise) and displays a result in one row (+ overlapping with calendar):

Thanks!

@spedja I experienced the different results as well. I don’t know why, but for every metro station I tried, I got no departureTimes at all, so I guess you can used it for bus and tram only. Maybe the metro has no departureTimes because they drive so often, therefore an API documentation would be nice

@strawberry-3.141 i found API documentation but its in German

@spedja nice timing :) I received my API token this afternoon, will look into this the next days and hopefully can get around the metro problem

@spedja I couldn’t find any information about this in the documentation, but with further investigation I stumbled on this http://www.offene-oeffis.at/faqs/warum-erhalte-ich-manchmal-etwas-wie-u1-leopoldau-in-x-minuten-als-string-in-towards-statt-als-departure/, so i guess in your screenshot is the departure of the metro in 2 and 5 mins, if so i have to handle those special

EDIT: should be fixed now

Is it possible to show routes between two stations? I can’t find anything in the documentation.

Really appreciate the module!

There is another API available.
Why don’t you use the EFA (From Elektronische Fahrplanauskunft)
It’s the biggest Provider in the market (Mentz Datenverarbeitung)
It includes realtime information and shows routes:

It is available for several transportation companies/communities in Germany, UK and so on.

@Dom1n1c I didn’t make a research for available API’s, I just took the one I got from the user who requested the module.
