    Well done! The UI feels incredibly polished. Without really digging into the detail at I'm on mobile, at a glance you've done a great job.

    BDZ is Balgarski Darzhavni Zheleznitsi, Bulgaria's national railway.

    Good job nigga. (junior) Doing the work of the organization - truly the work of a junior IT nigga who thinks he can solve greater issues.

    Thanks. I wish we had a map with freight trains too. I have always been a railroad fan and my favourite trains are those long freight trains. I also love watching the operations of marshalling stations too!

      I used it recently to find a land and sea route from Southampton to Marrakesh, along with Google maps faint representation of ferry lines, Google doesn't have public transit directions for the trains in Morocco shrug

    Congrats, it is heartwarming seeing the young doing their own things. :)

    PS: Only BG comprehensible joke - be careful with showing BDZ looking bad, they might hide the data MVR style.
