Paris (only?) public transport routing

Ekleog commented 6 years ago

Hi,

Currently discovering Maps.me (actually its stripped-down version on f-droid, as it's my policy to either install things from f-droid or grant exactly zero permissions, so that's not possible for raw Maps.me), and it looks great! However, I've encountered two issues currently with public transportation routing, that I think are strongly related.

The first one is inside Paris: if I try to route from Cité Universitaire (Train station) to Luxembourg (Train station), the proposed route is walk to Porte d'Orléans, then Metro 4 to Odéon, then walk to Luxembourg. However :

If it wanted to route me through Metro 4, there's Tramway 3 that goes from Cité Universitaire to Porte d'Orléans, so it looks like it missed it.
And actually it shouldn't route me through Metro 4 at all: there's a direct line between Cité Universitaire and Luxembourg, the RER B. As far as I know, both the tramway line and the RER line are on OpenStreetMaps, so I don't really get why they aren't used for route calculation. Is there some way I could edit OSM so that it appears, or is it an issue with maps.me that somehow would only take Metro into consideration? (Metro = subway here, Tramway is tram, and RER is somewhere in-between a train line and a subway, being every 5-30 minutes depending on the time of the day and on a longer range than subway)

The other issue I encountered was trying to route from Massy-Palaiseau (Train station) to Cité Universitaire (Train station). Again, the RER B passes through both lines, but it turns out maps.me tells me “Transit navigation in this region is not yet available”. However, http://osmz.ru/subways/ as pointed doesn't tell anything about the suburbs of Paris, so I don't really know whether OSM is missing some data?

As both these issues are related to non-metro public transportation, I guess they are somehow related. What could I do to help make pathfinding actually work nicely?

Anyway, thanks a lot for your work, that's a great application!

Hi!

Trams and trains are in our plan for this year, currently, though, they are not supported. Only metro (subway).

Thanks!

Oh OK, thanks! Will close when it lands, then, I guess :)

Hi,

Any news on that feature ? I'm planning a trip to Prague and the routing through Tramway would be really appreciable.
