About Transport for Honolulu, US

The API, operated by Oahu Transit Services, Inc. for TheBus, provides real-time automatic vehicle location (AVL) data for public transit in Honolulu, Hawaii. It offers read-only web services accessed via HTTP GET requests, returning data in either XML or JSON format. Available services include Arrivals (reporting arrival times at a specified stop ID), Vehicle (reporting the location of a vehicle), and Route (reporting shape information corresponding to the GTFS feed).

The API also provides access to GTFS files, including both the active feed and past feeds. Use requires registration for an application ID (AppID), which must be passed as a parameter with each service call.

This API is intended for developers building applications that need real-time bus tracking, arrival predictions, or route/schedule data for Honolulu's public transit system.
