We are pleased to announce that Routees, a public transit navigation application built on busmaps infrastructure, is now available for download on both iOS and Android platforms. This release marks a significant milestone in expanding access to reliable transit data through native mobile experiences.
Unified Data Sources
Routees consolidates two complementary data streams into a single interface:
- Official GTFS Data via busmaps API: Schedules, routes, and stop information sourced directly from transit agencies worldwide. This data undergoes validation and quality control to ensure accuracy and reliability.
- Crowdsourced Data from WikiRoutes: Community-contributed transit information that fills gaps in official coverage, particularly in regions where formal GTFS feeds are unavailable or incomplete.
This hybrid approach ensures comprehensive coverage across thousands of cities globally, combining the precision of official datasets with the breadth of community knowledge.
Core Functionality
- Route Planning: Multi-modal journey planning with real-time departure information where available.
- Stop Discovery: Location-based search for nearby transit stops with schedule information.
- Global Coverage: Support for transit systems across multiple continents and regions.
For Developers: busmaps API
Routees demonstrates the capabilities of the busmaps API infrastructure. Developers interested in building transit applications can access the same data through our documented API endpoints.
The API provides:
- Route planning with multiple transport modes
- Real-time and scheduled departure data
- Stop and station information
- GTFS feed access and management tools
