A new live map tracking public transport across Belgium has launched at openbaarvervoerbelgie.be, drawing attention on Hacker News with 39 points and 16 comments. The tool visualizes real-time vehicle positions for trains, trams, buses, and metros operated by NMBS/SNCB, De Lijn, TEC, and STIB/MIVB. Built using open data feeds, the map aggregates GTFS-RT and NeTEx data into a single interface.

Users can filter by operator, vehicle type, or line, and view delays or cancellations. The project aims to improve transparency and usability for commuters and developers alike. Source code is available on GitHub under an open license, inviting contributions.

The developer notes coverage depends on data quality from each operator, with some regions more complete than others. Feedback from the Hacker News community praised the clean UI and technical approach, while suggesting features like historical playback and mobile optimization.
