departures

departures-interactive

Show departure times for your Berlin public transport station. This is a fork of the original departures intended to run on info displays or in the background

install

To install from source you need to have a current Go version installed.

go get -u github.com/buengese/departures

Now you should have the departures binary installed in your $GOPATH/bin directory. You can call it from there or add the directory to your $PATH.

usage

First you need to find out the ID of your station. To do this run the tool with the -search parameter.

~$ departures -search="Alexanderplatz"

This should help you identify the station you want to look at. Now you can request the timetable for Alexanderplatz.

~$ departures -id="900000100003"

You can limit the lines and directions shown. Multiple values must be separated by a comma.

~$ departures -id="900000100003" -filter-line="M4" -filter-destination="S Hackescher Markt"

You can also create a config file that allows displaying an arbitrary number of stations at the same time. An example config file is included in this repository

~$ departures -config conf.json
