MVG Departures Infoscreen

This is a simple web app displaying the live departures of the MVG (Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft) in Munich (Germany) for one or more stations, meant for digital signage.

Currently, running on the infoscreen in the office of STABL Energy GmbH powered by piSignage:

It is built with Next.js, Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui.

This project is heavily inspired by MVGFahrinfo which has quite similar functionality but runs inside of a terminal and is written in Rust.

How to use

You can use the web app deployed to Vercel at mvg-infoscreen.vercel.app.

The root page will show you a user interface to configure the stations you want to display. It generates a URL for you by looking up the IDs of the selected stations.

You can also use the ?stations= query parameter to configure the stations directly in the URL. The value of the query parameter should be a comma-separated list of station IDs. You can find the station IDs by searching for the station on mvg.de.

For example, to display the departures for the stations "Marienplatz" (ID de:09162:2) and "Münchner Freiheit" (ID de:09162:500), you can use the following URL: mvg-infoscreen.vercel.app/infoscreen?stations=de:09162:2,de:09162:500, which will display as follows:
