Could you build this?
Partial Building the map UI and routing interface is simple, but aggregating and streaming reliable real-time GTFS-RT public transit telemetry from municipal transport authorities requires specialized integrations.
What it would actually take: A production version requires a transit routing engine (e.g., OpenTripPlanner, Valhalla) ingesting static GTFS schedules alongside live GTFS-RT vehicle positions and trip updates. The primary bottleneck is establishing stable data access, telemetry parsing, and dead-reckoning filters for municipal transit fleets (like Antalya's transportation department) where public APIs may be inconsistent, poorly documented, or restricted.
