@Karel The comments here might make you think that, but I've contacted every person that expressed interest in the comments above and none of them have returned any emails. It's pretty much par for the course for this application though.

So it should be now called “An application that everybody wanted except for its developer”

Hi Eric,

I sincerely think you should change the headline for this post to be “…that no one wanted at the time”. I think it is downright cool!

Please drop me an email – I have a small company specializing in intermodal/multimodal trip planning and am interested in speaking with you about what you have developed so far and if you’re thinking of getting back on the horse.

P.S. And thanks to Jayakumar above me for posting the link to your project on another website. I followed it here and am glad I did!

Thanks,
Ophir

I’m a small Australian Bus operator, and have spent the past few days preparing a GTFS feed.

I’m sure with a bit more development this could be really handy tool for smaller bus operators.

To make your project more appealing to operators,if we could generate timetables and route map and descriptions, which are a requirment for all Private Bus opertors in NSW, it would be a perfect.

If you could develop this further by making it easy to delpoy route maps, timetables and other information to an existing website, I would buy your product in a heart beat.

Besides ourselves, there are thousands of private operators throughout Australia, contracted to their State Governments to provide transit services.They range in size from single vehicle operators to Large multi-national companies.

A possible approach in Australia would be to approach each State Industry association. For example: Our Industry association is BusNSW.

So it does seem that you should change the title of this blogpost

Hi Erick,

Any chance that you would share the code of your application? It is a very good looking piece of application and it is a real pity if it just dies out without being put in use.

cheers

Hi eric.
following up on Karel’s post and my previous communication with you, have you came to a decision on what to do with ytransit code?
It would be a shame to drop this project. Since myself and Karel (if this is the Karel) are testing out several engines that consume GTFS, it would be cool to fiddle around with a ytansit-like tool, that would allow to import the gtfs, allow user to make changes to it and export back to gtfs or at least to mysql.

let us know if it would be possible to trial this out in any way.

regards,
Qlex
