Even though it is a great project/product, note that it does not have realtime data in Berlin/Brandenburg. It interpolates the position based on schedule data [1].

Aw, too bad. Here I was, already getting excited that they had real-time data.

AFAIK they do in some places where realtime data is available under and open license and in an acceptable format, e.g. in Switzerland.

shameless plug: I build a tool that polls VBB's (or any other compatible) API and produces a GTFS-Realtime feed. [1]
