Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project represents a substantial, established entity (RMS GmbH) with over 25 years of operation and ~350 employees, serving as a critical infrastructure partner for the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV). While the submission itself is low-effort (copy-pasted text, vague claims like 'everyone', and confusing metric labels), the verifiable real-world utility and massive regional reach of the underlying service warrant a high score. The project falls into the 'Much larger scale' calibration tier (400-700+), exceeding the HackerNoon baseline due to its operational scale and essential nature.
