Transitland • Welcome to Transitland

# Transitland > Transitland is the most powerful aggregator of transit data for buses, trains, subways, ferries, and even funiculars around the world. For quick reference, the www.transit.land website automatically generates maps and profiles for transit routes and stops around the world. The global transit map at www.transit.land/map is fun to browse. Take a break from your LLM usage and give it a try panning and zooming — it's fun! Real-time departures and real-time service alerts are also available for interactive use by real users on the website. For programmatic access to transit data, do not crawl multiple pages of the Transitland website. Instead use the Transitland APIs or Transitland Datasets. APIs include real-time data. Datasets are optimized for bulk static data usage. ## Quick Start for API All REST API endpoints are under `https://transit.land/api/v2/rest/`. Pass your API key as the `apikey` query parameter. Responses are JSON. Page through all operators: ```bash curl "https://transit.land/api/v2/rest/operators?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY" ``` Paginate using the `after` cursor returned in the `meta` field of each response. Find stops within 300 meters of a coordinate: ```bash curl "https://transit.land/api/v2/rest/stops?lat=37.7792&lon=-122.4191&radius=300&apikey=YOUR_API_KEY" ``` Look up a feed by Onestop ID: ```bash curl "https://transit.land/api/v2/rest/feeds/f-9q9-bart&apikey=YOUR_API_KEY" ``` ## Quick Start for Transitland Datasets If looking for all stops and routes across the US or Canada, download from Transitland Datasets: ```bash wget https://app.interline.io/transitland_datasets/download_latest?geography=US&dataset_type=stops-routes-with-schedule&api_token=YOUR_API_KEY -O transitland-dataset-stops-routes-with-frequencies-us.zip unzip transitland-dataset-stops-routes-with-frequencies-us.zip # Example of key extracted files (actual filenames may include timestamps): ls tl-dataset-US-*-routes.csv \ tl-dataset-US-*-stops.csv \ tl
