Overview
TransitLand is an open transit data aggregation platform that collects GTFS feeds from transit agencies around the world. It requires no authentication for basic queries, making it very easy to start exploring global public transit data. Use it to find routes, stops, and schedules across hundreds of transit systems.
Beginner Tip
No API key needed for public endpoints. Start with /api/v2/rest/agencies to browse transit agencies, then use operator onestop_id values to filter routes and stops for a specific transit network.
Available Data
The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.
Example Response
Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.

"destination": "Station B",
"departure": "08:30",
"arrival": "09:15",
