oebb
Client for the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) API. Inofficial, using endpoints by ÖBB. Ask them for permission before using this module in production. Actually, there should be no need for projects like this since endpoints for state-owned public transportation operators should be open to the public. It's ~~2017, 2018~~ 2019. By the way: Even Deutsche Bahn gets this now, and you don't ever want to be less progressive than them, because that would hurt their pride 😄.
