Inspiration
Sometimes it seems that Berlin's metro and trains break when they're hit by a snowflake. But which bus is taking you to your destination? And how long will it take to get you there? How often will you have to change?
What it does
VeeBiBi shows you bus routes on a map
How I built it
In 2013 we imported Berlin's transit information by their freshly opened GTFS data set and put it into some MongoDB data source. Then we drew bus lines and their stops as overlays.
Challenges I ran into
Some bus lines are parted on certain schedules, heading for different directions. We had to merge them together intelligently somehow.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Migrating the rather tabular GTFS data set into Mongo and asking the right questions. The frontend is rather f..ked though.
What I learned
Mongo geospatial queries
What's next for veebibi
Think this one is dead :)
