FillariStatus showing the nearest city bike stations as a list and on a map

Features

πŸ“

Nearest Stations

Uses your location to list the closest city bike stations, 5 by default and up to 20, with distances in metres or kilometres.

🚲

Live Bike Counts

Colour-coded as empty, low or plenty, and always shown as a number too, so colour is never the only cue. Palette tested for colour blindness.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Map View

Markers with the bike count printed on them, popups with details, and a target showing where you are.

πŸ”

Search

Find a station by name or number. A search overrides the nearby list, and clearing it brings the list back.

⭐

Favourites

Pin the stations you use. They are stored in your own browser, so there is no account to create.

🧭

Get Directions

One tap opens walking directions to the station in Google Maps.

πŸŒ—

Light and Dark

Light by default with a dark mode toggle, and a mobile-first layout that works one-handed.

🧯

Graceful Fallbacks

A friendly message when the bike season is over, and the last known data kept on screen with a warning if a refresh fails.

How It Works

1

Locate

Your browser shares your location (if you allow it). It is used in memory to rank stations and is not stored.

2

Fetch

The server asks the HSL / Digitransit API for live station data once a minute, shared by all visitors.

3

Rank

Stations are sorted by distance, with your favourites pinned on top.

4

Show

The list and the map update every minute, with a stamp showing how fresh the data is.
