vbb-parse-line

vbb-parse-line

Parses the names of VBB lines like M4, TXL, S42.

Because this module tries to guess the mode of transport from line names, it is doomed to have conflicts. Right now, it is primarily focused on Berlin, until we have a more robust solution to find out more about lines.

Installing

npm install vbb-parse-line

Usage

const parse = require('vbb-parse-line')
parse('M4')

This will return the following.

{
	mode: 'train',
	product: 'tram',
	symbol: 'M',
	nr: 4
	metro: true  // buses & trams that run frequently & all day
	express: false // buses that skip stations
	night: false // buses replacing other lines in the night
}
