Welcome to the wonderful world of transit data!
As part of our commitment to staying on the frontline of technology, MTD is proud to offer various ways for students, academics, developers and tinkerers to access our service data. On this page you'll find links to some of the various data feeds we offer.
Public Data Feeds
GTFS
General Transit Feed Specification
Standard data format for representing static transit schedules. Data comes in a .zip file that contains multiple comma-delimited text files.
GTFS-RT
General Transit Feed Specification-Realtime
Standard data format for representing realtime service status, including vehicle locations, departure estimates and crowding. Data is transmitted via protobuf (binary).
Developer API v3.0
HTTP-based REST endpoint
If GTFS doesn't cut it, we offer a classic REST API, now in version 3.0. Use simple HTTP GET requests to fetch data on MTD service. Requires sign-up and an API key. Beginner friendly.
