"High speed train": more distinction needed #136
Comments
Maybe this is of help: In the sources of https://rabdc.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/dn the checkbox "Nur Nahverkehr" is still present, but hidden: Then, further down, there's the checkboxes for ICE (high speed), IC/EC/IC-Bus (other long distance), and the other "product" (means of transportation) options: |
Yes, I think for DB ICE has product-bit 0 and IC has bit 1. Both are mapped to HIGH_SPEED_TRAIN, see the Or shall we redo this much more thoroughly and give up on the idea of generic product classes and allow all the native products, maybe even using their brand names? |
I would use:
Probably these three categories are the most important ones for the users to toggle.
I think so, yes. The three levels high-speed (premium long-distance), all other long-distance and local trains should be quite universal and understandable. The rules, tickets, and trade names behind are different and sometimes inconsistent/overlapping in every country.
Thanks for your efforts. |
For what it's worth, I will describe what we agreed on at friendly-public-transport-format:
|
I think that the distinction that we’re discussing here is a very common one in several countries now. So it would very helpful to get some progress on this in whatever way seems right. |
Ok, given that there seems to be real interest in this I'd be fine with the separation. However, someone would need to go through all the existing providers and find out which @derhuerst Interesting idea you're introducing with Mode and Product. In this logic, our existing Product should probably be renamed to Mode (or TransportMode). However, ultimtely I suspect it's too much of work to maintain the data for your Products as I think not much of it is available via API. It would be a bit like our line colors/symbols I guess. |
Would it be possible to separate "high speed train" into "high speed train" (DB: ICE = Produktklasse A) and "long-distance train" (DB: IC/EC = Produktklasse B)?
It does not help if one has an IC ticket and gets ICE timetable results ... (cf. grote/Transportr#300 )
Thanks
