Deutsche Bahn to Terminal – A TUI for quickly viewing your favorite German public transport connections on the command line.
Written in Go!
Here's a preview of db2term in action:
db2term is a lightweight Go program that brings Deutsche Bahn (DB) public transport schedules directly to your terminal. Whether you commute daily or frequently travel via train, S-Bahn, U-Bahn, or bus, db2term helps you stay updated on your preferred routes with just a few keystrokes.
🎯 Features
🚌 Support for all DB transit modes: Train, S-Bahn, U-Bahn, buses, etc
⭐ Favorite routes: Save your most-used trips for quick access.
💨 Blazingly fast CLI: Optimized for performance and minimal output latency.
💻 Terminal-first experience: Pretty TUI for quickly showing the next connections
Prerequisites
Go 1.24
You will also have to enable Nerdfonts in your terminal.
You can use make build to build a binary.
Recommended usage is to alias it in your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bash_profile.
Right now you have to manually input the station codes in the created <temp>/db2term/config.json
db2term automatically creates a new folder in os.UserConfigDir().
Check, where this in your OS.
This only needs to be done once, but I still want to add the functionality to add station codes via a search bar within the TUI, so you don't have to manually retrieve them from the DB website.
Example config.json:
{
"trips": [
{
"from": "München Hbf",
"to": "Dachau Stadt",
"fromCode": "A=1@O=München Hbf@X=11558339@Y=48140229@U=80@L=8000261@B=1@p=1752089579@i=U×008020347@",
