Plasma/Public Transport/da

Public Transport er en applet til Plasma, som viser afgange eller ankomster for et givet stoppested. Den kan også vise rejser til eller fra det givne "hjemme-stoppested".

Introduktion

Public Transport har mange funktioner som filtre og alarmer. Det viser også ekstra information, så som forsinkelser, nyheder om rejser, ruter og transporttype (med ikoner).

It gets it's information by parsing HTML/XML files from the web. You can get data for public transport, but also for trains, ferries and planes (using flightstats.com). There are multiple service providers supported by XML and script files.

You can set alarms for departures and filter departures (by type of vehicle, target/origin, delay, transport line string/number, intermediate stops). Filters can be combined.

PublicTransport is a community app  See footnote . Written originally for Germany, it works in many European countries.

  • Using an input line with syntax highlighting.

  • Suggestions, like:
    • Adding/removing keywords
    • Change the time eg. 30 minutes later
    • Use a recently used journey search
    • Stop names (auto completion)

• Multiple Stops can be set and are stored gobally for all PublicTransport applets.
  • Stops can be combined, eg. if two stops are very near and departures of both stops should be shown together.

• Filters can be defined to show only the departures you want to see.
  • There are multiple constraints:
    • Line string/number
    • Target/Origin
    • Via (intermidiate stops)
    • Vehicle type
    • Delay
  • Filters can be assigned to stops.

• Alarms of two types: recurring and single shot.
  • Easy to set an alarm for a single departure using the context menu.
  • Recurring alarms are set for new departures using an alarm filter.
• Scripts can be written to add support for new service providers.
• A data engine is used to share data between applets.

Public Transport has a page on kde-look.org, where you can download the latest sources and binary packages for various distributions.
