KTM Station Schedule Checker & Journey Planner in Web Form (PHP)

KTMB (Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad) Station Schedule Checker & Journey Planner in Web Form , written with PHP.

Why I need to use this instead of MyRailTime2.0 App?

I personally feel that MyRailTime2.0 App isn't providing a good experience for me , and their web page form of MyRailTime2.0 took lots of time to load their webpacked vendor JS file, makes the loading time to 5 seconds and above , but the API only uses 100ms+ to get the responses.

Requirements

1. PHP 7.4 and above
2. Redis and Redis PHP Extension installed (For Rate Limit purposes)
3. A VPS / Computer / Server that have a stable Internet Connection and allowed to access MyRailTime 2.0's API Endpoint (myrailtime.ktmb.com.my:8080)
4. Nginx / Apache / Any web server with PHP configured install and running

Deployment

1. Download the source code and extract to the designated folder on ur web server root folder.
2. Make sure Redis and Redis PHP Extension installed.
3. Make sure PHP is preconfigured with your web server.
4. Expose it to public and you are up and running!.
