About

This crate provides a Rust API to communicate with the undocumented MVG (Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft) API.

See the example section below, which shows how to query timetable information and more for public transport in and around Munich.

Since no information about an official API could be found on the MVG developer website, credit and thanks go to this Python project, which documents some of the available endpoints.

Right now, this is very much a work in progress, as only a "happy path" solution is implemented, which basically only documents the API endpoints.
