Universal Transit Platform

An open-source platform to unify global public transportation data and services.

Project Overview

Our goal is to create a universal platform that standardizes public transportation data worldwide, making it easier for users to navigate and purchase tickets across different cities and countries. By integrating various transit systems into a single, user-friendly interface, we aim to simplify travel planning and enhance the public transportation experience globally.

Features

Standardized Data Formats: Unified data models for transit information.
Fare Calculation and Ticketing APIs: APIs to calculate fares, recommend tickets/passes, and simulate purchases.
Multi-Language Support: Support for multiple languages and regional settings.
Open-Source Collaboration: Community-driven development encouraging global contributions.
