Transitland is an open-data platform built on thousands of public-transit data feeds from around the world. We started Transitland in 2014 and continue to expand the platform. It’s now the largest and most feature-rich GTFS and GTFS Realtime aggregator. Transitland is the ideal solution for using data from many transit operators in web or mobile apps, maps, data visualizations, GIS analyses, and travel demand models.
As a platform, Transitland both serves data consumers (such as app developers) and data producers (such as transit agencies and private mobility providers).
Are you developing an app, a visualization, a map, a plan, an analysis, or another type of digital experience that needs transit data as an input? Learn more about how you can use Transitland to consume transit data:
Transitland provides a range of APIs to flexibly query across its world-wide store of transit data. Results can be produced in a wide variety of formats, including JSON, GeoJSON, CSV, vector map tiles, and static images.
Interline produces bulk data exports from the Transitland platform that are customized for specific needs. Our clients use these bulk exports to power their own transportation analysis engines, real-estate assessments, routing engines, and other use-cases.

Share your GTFS and GTFS Realtime feeds with Transitland and we’ll help disseminate your open data to an even wider audience.
Our tooling is used by both Interline staff and clients to enrich GTFS feeds with GTFS Pathways data for stations and GTFS Fares-v2 data for fares and transfer discounts.
GTFS stands for General Transit Feed Specification. It’s a set of machine-readable files in a standard format that can be produced by a transit operator and disseminated across the internet. The contents describe that operator’s stations and stop locations, route lines and shapes, schedules, fares, and related information. Trip-planning apps can ingest GTFS feeds from one or more operator to plan journeys for their users. Analysts also use GTFS feed to understand travel patterns and propose changes.
