Overview
We have our own proprietary public transport routing models, built by us from the ground up
The models traverse every possible route based on public transport timetables and data gathered from a huge list of public transport agencies
Built for true human routing, we incorporate our own walking model to provide door-to-door journey times that represent how people actually travel
All combinations of public transport methods are included - bus, coach, train, underground, tram, etc
Where the data comes from
Data is at the heart of what we do, and we have a dedicated data team whose job it is to source complete, accurate, up-to-date public transport timetable data, and incorporate it into the public transport model
We pull data out of every imaginable source - where GTFS data doesn’t exist, but we can find timetables in other formats, we create our own GTFS data
The data is updated at least every two weeks, so it is always right up-to-date
We are fully transparent about what data we have and where, including providing an interactive online tool to explore the data in detail
