- JacksonGariety 13y agoWhy did this not receive more upvotes? What a great API to build off of.
- qzervaas 13y agoThanks Jackson - there's a ton more feeds and API calls I'll be adding over the next few months. I'm currently working on building an API to serve real-time NYC subway estimates
- glenr 13y agoVery useful. I run a feed for my city and this would help me enormously...
- idupree 13y agoSimilarly (but freer), http://www.citybik.es/ http://www.citybik.es/ is an API for bike sharing systems around the world.
- qzervaas 13y agoOh that's cool - might be some way of integrating that into my site in the future. One of the core differences though is that TransitFeeds is primarily for browsing and discovering new feeds to interact directly. The API is more of a value-add so devs can automate their own build processes, or in the case of something like GTFS-RealTime, making the data into a mobile-friendly format (a single GTFS-RealTime snapshot could be say, 2 MB big and contain information for thousands of vehicles).
