This is very cool.

But, bus from New York to St Louis and then backtrack on Amtrak. Ouch. I know the train options from NYP to CHI are slow, but I didn’t think they’re that slow (they’re not)! Nevermind having to take a greyhound for 1000 miles.

Yeah I strongly suspect that there's something in the GTFS spec that I'm missing that's resulting in some vehicle journeys not being added to the timetable. This would also explain why it completely fails to find routes on the return trips for some of the examples. I'm still pretty stoked about it and hopeful I'll get the bugs ironed out. :)

edit: also if you look at the Berlin to Barcelona trip you'll see a bus, which makes no sense to me whatsoever, so I suspect that some of the high speed rail trips didn't make it from the GTFS feed into the packed timetable that I'm serving itineraries from.

Yeah, Deutsche Bahn can find a route from Berlin Jannowitzbrücke to Barcelona Sants that takes less than 20 hours (as opposed to 2 days) https://www.bahn.de/buchung/fahrplan/suche#sts=true&so=Janno...

Hopefully, the existence of a black-box oracle makes it easier to find out where the gaps are.
