I travel 4 hours a day and often work from the train, passing through remote regions of Switzerland where loading the SBB website alone can take up to an entire minute before I've even had a chance to search for my next connection (back when I started building this, my cellular data plan provided me with 500kb/s at most in the city). On top of that, I love open source and disliked handing data over to corporations unnecessarily, so I loved the idea of a faster solution that only fetched the necessary data, the one I requested. One day, while exploring the idea of building my first TUI, I stumbled upon the incredible Swiss public transport API and I knew I'd found the perfect occasion to start!

SBB-TUI is in constant improvement thanks to the work of many volunteers passionate about this little tool. This project is a very good playground for those who want to learn to collaborate in open source projects and improve the way they architecture their code and commit it. Wether you're a novice or a professional, don't be scared to hop on the train!

There's plenty of Issues of different complexity levels, many tagged with help wanted or good first issue. So if you're up for the challenge, read CONTRIBUTING.md, create your PR, and start coding!
