• Agency name (for lines and contact info)

Use complete addresses with State or Region abbreviation.

Schedule times are based on official data published by the transit agency.

It is up to the agency to follow best practices to create a user friendly experience. It's can be a learning curve so be patient if you see too much room for improvement.

Updates are typically displayed within one hour of publication, but if load is high and backup servers are in use processing may be delayed.

Route maps are based on the trip with the most stops. Stops not on that trip appear last (maybe out of sequence) on timetables.

Only schedules in recent publications are listed.

Some lines, such as seasonal or temporary lines, may be discontinued or renamed.

When a line is removed from recent publications, it is deactivated. If it's included in a later publication, it's reactivated and appears with new schedules.

If a line you know has current service and is not listed, notify the transit agency and request the schedule be included in their data publication.

For information about upcoming schedules, you must contact the transit agency.

Note: Support for data outside North America and Oceania is pending completion of locale neutral features. Please be patient. We apologize for the delay.
