by Volker Weber

HERE Transit in Germany:
Scheduled routing: Aachen, Berlin and Potsdam
Berlin and Potsdam get scheduled routing with real-time data. That's what you really want. Everywhere.
And then there is partial routing, where HERE Transit does not know the schedule:
Partial routing: Bergisch Gladbach, Bonn, Bremen, Dresden, Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Erfurt, Essen, Frankfurt am Main, Fürth, Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg, Heidelberg, Köln, Mannheim, Mülheim an der Ruhr, München, Neuss, Nürnberg, Offenbach am Main, Stuttgart, Würzburg
That's only usable with lines that run every 5 minutes. For Darmstadt, zilch. Who is at fault? Certainly not HERE.
