URBANWARE™ Mass Transit Proximity API

Mass Transit Proximity API Overview

In many urban areas, critical decisions are often based on proximity to transit nodes such as subway stations, bus stops, commuter rail lines and airports. Similarly, access to public transportation can influence habits, routines, and tasks. However, data sources for mass transit system are highly idiosyncratic, difficult to extract, or unpublished. Urban Mapping solves these problems and offers normalized transit data that developers can use to create innovative applications.

Urban Mapping’s Mass Transit Proximity API enables developers to take advantage of UMI’s expertise in aggregating and normalizing large data sets. The Free Mass Transit Proximity API enables ‘find station stops near point’ and ‘find station stops near address.’ The mass transit coverage for this free API includes the United States, Canada and select European countries.

The Premium Mass Transit Proximity API provides access to additional methods and pricing is based on transaction volume.
