This appears to use the theoretical schedule, rather than real-time information. I live next to a busy tram line, and what I see through the window does not match what the site shows.

Not true:

"VBB-Livekarte zeigt berechnete Positionen der Fahrzeuge zwischen zwei Stationen; falls kein Live-Fahrplan vorhanden, dann Position gemäß geplanten Fahrzeiten"

Translation:

It shows the calculated position of the vehicles between two stations. If there currently is no live data it shows according to schedule.

Totally, buses never seem to stop at traffic lights.

In my city, Eindhoven in the Netherlands, traffic lights are often calibrated to make sure that buses don't have to stop at a red light.

You're probably complaining about the reliability of this map but it is actually often the case. In my district the buses frequently run the red lights.

Well, they don't actually follow streets. Looks like it's just the shortest distance between two stops, even if that goes right through a building or over water.

Works surprisingly well though, I only realized after a while.

Public transport is often prioritized and they got green light using some kind of detectors or remote control.
