Vienna Wiener Linien — Live Departures & Stops

Live Vienna public transport departures from the official Wiener Linien OGD (Open Government Data) real-time monitor — countdown, planned and predicted times, line, direction and platform for U-Bahn, tram and bus. Plus a stop-search mode that resolves stop names to the RBL ids you feed into departures. Free, keyless.

Perfect for live departure boards, Vienna trip planners, transit dashboards and datasets.

Modes

• departures — live departures for one or more stop RBL ids: real-time countdown, planned (timePlanned) and predicted (timeReal) times, line, direction/towards, platform, vehicle type and accessibility flags.
• stop-search — search the official Wiener Linien stop catalogue by name to find RBL ids (plus DIVA id, municipality and coordinates).

What you get

Departure rows: stopId, stopTitle, rbl, municipality, longitude, latitude, line, towards, direction, platform, type, barrierFree, realtimeSupported, trafficjam, countdown, timePlanned, timeReal.

Stop-search rows: stopId (RBL), diva, stopText, municipality, municipalityId, longitude, latitude.

Notes & limits

• An RBL identifies a specific stop platform/direction; one physical station can have several RBLs — use stop-search first to discover them.
• Live departures reflect the feed's freshness; treat each run as a snapshot.
• Public official data (Wiener Linien OGD); independent tool, not affiliated with Wiener Linien. You are responsible for compliant use of the output.
