Train operator changed ➡️ looks ugly

[nixmeer]

Hello :)

since January 1st, line "S3" of the "S-Bahn Rhein-Ruhr" is no longer being operated by the Deutsche Bahn but by Abellio which is a private train operator. It's still the same line "S3" but different trains and the DB API names them "ABR S3" (not only my mirror uses this name but also all smartphone apps I use).

This looks just ugly... is there any way to not just change the background color, border-radius etc. but also the displayed name?

Best

This is something that we should handle in the underlying library hafas-client; We already do this for e.g. the BVG endpoint and the SNCB endpoint.

That'd be great. I don't use it at the plug in right now but I am annoyed by all public transport apps writing "ABR RE6 (RRX)"... I don't care what kind of RE and who operates it. I just wanna know, if it's on time or not :D

Please open an Issue in the hafas-client repo. Let's collect more lines in Germany that have this kind of prefix.

Also, even if you were interested, that's what the operator field is for.

I’ll do that. Please add your insights about this module and the hafas-client.

What do you mean by operator field? Couldn’t find any here in this module, is it part of the hafas-client?

Edit: I just figured out the hafas-client is your repo 😃
