Field notes
The project organizes thirteen focused investigations rather than presenting a single general transit dashboard. Its stated datasets include official GTFS records, vehicle-location broadcasts, licensing records, and Databus train data; the coverage tool also breaks rail lines into 100-metre sections by carrier, network generation, tunnel status, speed, and carriage type. The creator identifies himself as Shlomo Hartman and describes developing the code with Claude.
