- Even more impressive: https://api.transitous.org/ (but not everything is live)by ognarb
- I work on the open-source application Catenary Maps:
It has a live map of public transport around the world, mostly showing the actual vehicle positions (although we interpolate from the estimated arrivals for some European operators). You can also click on vehicles (trains, buses, ferries, etc) to see their past and predicted future arrivals, click on a station to see its departure board, or click on a line to see its variants.
by ethanc8 - Is it something new? I think Yandex Maps shows busses in real time since long ago (at least in large cities like Moscow). The busses have GPS and send the data in real time. I wanted to post a link but at night there are not many busses and the first ones will appear 1-2 hours later: https://yandex.ru/maps/213/moscow/transport/buses/?l=masstra...by codedokode

- This thread is full of people linking similar projects for different locations. The next step must be to combine it all to a global live map. Useful for... something, I'm sure.by ostacke
- 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!!by wouterjanl
