Pendler-Check
The Pendler-Check is capable of comparing two routes (e.g. Bern-Zürich and Zürich-St.Gallen) and giving a clear advice which home location is better for commuting to work. The analysis is done based on real connection information from SBB on a randomly selected workday (from 06:00 to 22:00).
Because of the upcoming big Timetable Change on December 15 I made a special release which allows users to compare the connections before and after the change.
A demo of the “Pendler-Check” is currently hosted on Heroku.
