Der Verkehrsbetrieb in Potsdam wäre an einer Zusammenarbeit interessiert. Die Bereitstellung von Übersichts- und Detailplänen sowie GPS-Koordinaten stellt für uns kein Problem dar. Ich bitte um Kontaktaufnahme. Steffen Krause Hallo,

I think it would be a great idea to make a Symbian S60 version of this app. S60 phones are much more common than iPhones, about which there is just this big hype, but which are available to few people actually. (The future is "Android" anyway, I guess.) Any problems with Apples app-store are gone then too. Just offer a .jar or .sisx file to download and that's it. Something else: I'd suggest to search for a better name. "Fahrinfo" (without hyphen) has been used by BVG and VBB since ages, for web search as well as for their own (DOS, Windows and later Windows CE) software, which is available for free. Hi there.

The idea to write a trip planner application was inspired by Johannes Plunien, author of the brilliant MVV Dashboard Widget (which covers Munich public transport), when we exchanged some AppFresh-related support mails just about at that time. I rushed to get the application accepted in time for the App Store launch, and that worked out pretty well. You can read more about the whole process on my blog entry, The App Store Experience.

Dont' care about the BVG-bureaucrats. Think diffrent! Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square hole. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. Hi Jonas, execllent (actually the best) app. It saved my day more than once.

Apparently BVG complained and you had to take it out (beside the BVG map)? My gosh, the details view is IMHO by far the most important feature in the app... :-( Why did BVG complain?? In this case, I guess I will stay on the old version and not update, even though the UI for Fahr-Info 2.0 looks so nice and promising! Nice work!!

Also it would be good to try to cooperate withthe BVG in order to keep the useful maps and add more - for example routes. It would be nice to get busses in “Nahegelegen”.
