MooveFree 🚌

MooveFree is an open-source public transportation route planner for Israel, built with Python and modern web technologies. It provides an intuitive interface for finding optimal bus routes between any two stops in the Israeli public transportation network.

The application uses GTFS (General Transit Feed Specification) data to build a graph representation of the transportation network, allowing for route planning and visualization. The project aims to provide a free and accessible alternative to commercial route planning services, with a focus on user-friendly design and performance.
