About transport.rest

transport.rest hosts a collection of publicly available transit APIs for developer use, each covering a specific transit operator or region and served under its own subdomain. Listed APIs include Deutsche Bahn (Germany), Poland, VBB (Berlin & Brandenburg), BVG (Berlin & Brandenburg), Flixbus (Germany/Europe), and Nottingham City Transport (England).

The site is run by an individual maintainer who provides a status page and an RSS feed for planned maintenance and new feature announcements, and accepts financial support through GitHub Sponsors. Developers who operate a publicly accessible transit API can request that a new transport.rest subdomain point to it by opening an issue.
