MooveFree is an open-source public transportation route planner for Israel, built with Python and modern web technologies. It provides an intuitive interface for finding optimal bus routes between any two stops in the Israeli public transportation network.
The application uses GTFS (General Transit Feed Specification) data to build a graph representation of the transportation network, allowing for route planning and visualization. The project aims to provide a free and accessible alternative to commercial route planning services, with a focus on user-friendly design and performance.

Note that the application is still under development and some features may not be fully functional.

#### (2024-12-26) Implemented basic path finding algorithm (WIP)
The GTFS Trip Planner calculates optimal journeys between public transit stops. Here's a summary of how it works:
1. **Data Loading**:
- Loads GTFS datasets (`stops`, `routes`, `trips`, `stop_times`) and caches them.
- Builds a graph where nodes are stops and edges are transit or walking connections.
2. **Network Construction**:
- Creates connections between stops using transit schedules.
- Adds walking connections based on proximity (calculated using the Haversine formula).
3. **Journey Planning**:
- Finds shortest paths between start and destination stops using `networkx`.
- For each path, selects the best trips (transit or walking) based on departure and arrival times.
4. **Trip Optimization**:
- Prioritizes trips with minimal travel and wait times.
- Supports walking trips when transit options are unavailable.
5. **Output**:
- Returns a list of optimized journeys with details on total travel time and walking distance.
The current implemntation is not yet functional and requires further testing and optimization. Future updates will focus on improving path finding performance and accuracy.
