Just for me to understand it completely: Would you then propose to use/add a search provider that knows e.g. the bus/train stations and then a corresponding routing provider (probably coming from the same backend) for the routing / journey planning?

But note that usually you don't need to know the stop names. Routers usually work with coordinates and if you know the address or some other place name, any geocoder will convert that to coordinates. And if stops exist in OpenStreetMap data, then OpenStreetMap-based geocoders do find them too.

Just out of curiosity, do you plan to merge pan transit and poor maps? That way we could also benefit from poor maps visualization of the bus stop points on the map, right?

Thanks for nice and useful application. 2x thanks for providers API.
I have a request - can filtered line configuration be saved into favorites?
Use case - convenience to quickly check multiple buses/trolleys/trams on a busy stop that match my destination. I could then bookmark same stop multiple times with different filters.
Poor mans presets for best way to get from A to Z.

Filtered lines in stop and added to favorites, expected to see the same filter. Should have tried to apply filter again.
