Public GTFS Enriched Valhalla Test Server for Cologne

I have spun up a little test server available to the public to showcase Valhalla’s transit routing capabilities. Part of the motivation is to lower the barrier for users to try Valhalla’s multimodal routing, since I’ve recently seen many people struggling with getting a GTFS enabled service off the ground.

It includes the city of Cologne/Germany (and most of Bonn as well) and the publicly available GTFS feed from the VRS, which should include all of the KVB’s transit.

It’s available at valhalla.bwnkl.de/status. I am currently neither rebuilding tiles nor updating the service regularly, so it’s take it or leave it at this point 😀. I might change that in the future, especially if there are more frequent updates to multimodal routing.
