BVG profile for hafas-client

Verkehrsverbund Berlin-Brandenburg (BVG) is the major local transport provider in Berlin. This profile adds BVG-specific customizations to hafas-client.

Usage

const createClient = require('hafas-client')
const bvgProfile = require('hafas-client/p/bvg')

const userAgent = 'link-to-your-project-or-email' // adapt this to your project!

// create a client with BVG profile
const client = createClient(bvgProfile, userAgent)

Customisations

• parses BVG-specific products (such as X-Bus)
• supports BerlKönig journey legs
• strips parts from station names that are unnecessary in the Berlin context
• parses line names to give more information (e.g. "Is it an express bus?")
• renames Ringbahn line names to contain ⟳ and ⟲

BerlKönig

BVG has recently announced a ride-sharing service called BerlKönig. Pass berlkoenig: true into journeys() to get special legs:

{
	mode: 'walking',
	departure: // …
	arrival: // …
	origin: // …
	destination: // …
	line: {
		type: 'line',
		name: 'BerlKönig',
		public: true,
		mode: 'taxi',
		product: 'berlkoenig'
	}
}
