[Open-transport] Transit tracker for worldwide GTFS feed

Tue Nov 4 15:23:14 UTC 2014

Hi Thomas

You are right, we now show largely complete transit data of Germany. The 
data are from an "official" however not open source. They have been 
provided by DB for research projects at the University of Freiburg and 
we are allowed to use them for TRAVIC.

Best regards
Uli Müller
