Abstract
Transitous is an open, community-run provider-neutral international mobility platform. Using openly available GTFS and GTFS-RT public transport data and MOTIS, a FOSS real-time routing engine, we operate a free to use global routing service that does not stop at borders. Our mission is to offer a provider-neutral, international, cross-border, and privacy friendly routing that focuses on the interest of the user. In the future, this work can serve as a building block for open Google Maps alternatives. In this talk we will show you how our crowdsourced data collection process works and how you can join us and contribute. We will present clients such as GNOME Maps and their integration with Transitous. Finally, we will have a look at the technical innovations in MOTIS that enable planet sized routing (including geocoding, street and indoor routing, and map tiles) on affordable hardware.
