+This project is no longer maintained. It was superseded by a Python3 
+implementation at [kumitterer/oebb_py](https://kumig.it/kumitterer/oebb_py).
+
+You can still use this project, but it will not be 100% compatible with oebb_py.
+Issues and pull requests are welcome though.
+
+If you don't need to host the API yourself, you may also use the one provided
+at [https://bahnapi.xyz/][] which uses oebb_py.
