DB Route Finder

A tool to find optiomaoptimal routes from A to B and B to A.

An optimal route should fulfill certain properties:

• All journeys should happen on the same day (A to B and back B to A on the same day)
• The time at B (so between arriving at B and departing from B) should be sufficient (currently at least 5 hours)
• The price should be minimal
• The exact departure and arrival times are irrelevant as long as all above properties are fulfilled

Getting started

1. Clone this repo
2. Install dependencies: npm i

Usage

npm run start <from> <from-departure> <to> <to-departure>

• from: The Station name where your journey starts.
• from-departure: The earliest time you are willing to depart.
• to: The Station you want to go to.
• to-departure: Optional: The earliest time you want to head back home. If not present, the from-departure day will be used at 4pm.

Example

npm run start "Hamburg Hbf" "2021-12-14 07:23" Fulda "2021-12-14 14:50"

npm run start "Hamburg Hbf" "2021-12-14 07:23" Fulda which is equivalent to npm run start "Hamburg Hbf" "2021-12-14 07:23" Fulda "2021-12-14 16:00"
