Reply To: DT Talks: Capturing the Complexity of Cities

Hi Steven,

The real time data from buses is collected locally and we work with a local company ITO world to clean and structure it and then we feed it into Google Transit, Apple Maps and Motion Map. At the current time there is no national real time data feed suitable for journey planners, this may change as the government has mandated data sharing by bus companies and data will be published through a DfT website. Real time will be added t this site next year but is likely to still need some work to be suitable for apps. 

Time table data is now being published nationally but wasn’t when we set up the app so we need to take a feed from the local bus companies. 

Rail companies publish their real time data nationally on a feed called Darwin.
