Introducing the ÖPNV Projekt Tracker
Germany’s public transport infrastructure is full of ambitious projects — new tram lines, reactivated railway routes, cable cars, and more. But keeping track of their status is hard: plans change, construction stalls, and information is scattered across newspaper articles, government websites, and press releases.
The ÖPNV Projekt Tracker changes that.
It’s a website that gives you a clear, structured overview of public transport projects across Germany. Every project shows where it’s happening, what kind of transport it involves, and — most importantly — how its status has evolved over time. Was that new tram line just an idea last year? Has construction started yet? When did it get approved? All of that is recorded, with sources so you can verify the information yourself. The status of a project can be configured is JSON files on GitHub and is automatically built into a web app.
