Live bus and tram info from De Lijn for Flanders, built on De Lijn Open Data. It is the sister application of Trainfo with the same design system.
BusInfo brings live bus and tram information from De Lijn for all of Flanders. It is the sister application of Trainfo and uses the same shared design system, but in De Lijn’s yellow. The data comes from De Lijn Open Data and includes realtime delays, down to the bus number and licence plate of the vehicle.
The realtime feeds of De Lijn Open Data provide delays including bus number and licence plate.
The stack has its own port layout so it can run alongside Trainfo.
The worker does a daily GTFS ingest and polls the realtime feeds every 30 seconds.
