Translink API
Transit data made easy
Website
This API is best for developers creating applications related to public transit systems.
Developers can use the Translink API to build applications that provide users with real-time and static transit data, such as vehicle locations, trip planning, schedules, and fares. The API also includes service alert information, making it easier for users to plan their trips and avoid disruptions. With this API, developers can create user-friendly apps that help public transit users navigate their local transit system with ease.
Key features
- Real-time and static transit data
- Trip planning
- Fares and schedules
- Vehicle locations
- Service alerts
Potential use cases
- Transit tracker: Develop an app that allows users to track the locations of buses and trains in real time, with up-to-date schedules and estimated arrival times.
- Fare calculator: Build an application that calculates the cost of a trip based on the user's starting location and destination, taking into account any transfers or multi-zone fares.
- Transit comparison tool: Develop an app that allows users to compare transit options (such as time, distance, and cost) between different modes of transportation (such as bus, train, bike-share, and ride-hailing services).
Using the Translink API has allowed us to create a mobile app that is incredibly helpful for public transit commuters. With real-time data on bus and train locations, service alerts, and trip planning, our users can easily navigate the transit system and avoid delays. The API is easy to integrate and the documentation is clear and thorough. We couldn't be happier with the results.
