+Libplanfahr is a GObject based library to query public transport inforation. It
+(in principle) supports different providers although at the moment only one is
+implemented. It features GObject introspection so you can use it from languages
+like JavaScript and Python. 
+
+The API is by no means stable yet.
+
+It depends on glib, libsoup, libxml2, gnome-common and gtk-doc-tools:
+
+    apt-get install libsoup2.4-dev libglib2.0-dev libxml2-dev libgirepository1.0-dev \
+                    gnome-common gtk-doc-tools
+
+To build from source use:
+
+    ./autogen.sh
+    ./configure
+     make
+
+To install use
+
+    make install
+
+To run from the compiled source code use
+
+   ./run <program>
+
+for example
+
+   ./run python3 examples/trip-query.py Gelsenkirchen Essen
+
