The websites of blablacar, flixbus, and various trains sites are hostile toward the idea of travelers getting all the data they need to plan a trip.

E.g. Flixbus is tor-hostile, but even when access is granted you cannot just ask for the cheapest trip from A to B over a range of days. The motherfuckers force us to search one day at a time and just one destination at a time.

Fuck that. How can we get the data? I know these sites have bot-hostility so scraping it seems like a huge effort.

Some countries have “open data” laws that requires sharing the data, but that only works if the gov gets the data to begin with. If the gov does not get the Flixbus data, then there is no legal requirement to share it.
