This is interesting, for sure.
Thinking about this, I think what happens if we take it to the extreme - a system that lets a single user enter his route to work - and compare how various transportation systems, including innovative ones, would impact his day to day.
It's really hard to build such tool, and if it's done well and made appealing to users, it could be the base of a political tool for people to pressure their representatives to implement new and better systems and improve voters lives.

The ⌘K command palette is a great touch for this terminal-style UI. It would be even better if we could search by railcar models (like 'R211') or specific line colors directly through it. Excited to see this grow!

Nice site but there's so few systems in it.

yep, its still and will always be WIP, every system exposes their data a bit differently, so it's not completely plug and play. you're welcome to contribute to the existing system data however! https://github.com/WaffleThief123/publictransit-systems/

Very nice! I think we're confusing route length and track length, though.

Can you elaborate further on this so I might be able to fix it? As best I am able to discern, system track length for all current ones is accurate.

Could track length include sidings and double-tracks and extensions and other maintenance track needs that aren't useful for the passengers themselves?

Looks good.
London, Paris, Copenhagen, Rome, Madrid?
I guess it takes a while to add each new one in.

tysm! Yeah I've got a bit of a backlog, as each set of data for each system needs a deep-dive on how the system exposes it programmatically, then need to do tests and some studying on each to build cars,timelines, etc. Toronto is on the list, if there's any in particular you want, file an issue on gh, and I'll do my best to get it added in a timely manner. https://github.com/wafflethief123/publictransit-systems/issu...
