Any recommendations for a Mastodon server that's about open data, transit, mobility, or open-source software? We're thinking of also posting about @Transitland for folks who are switching to Mastodon.

We are slowly adding coverage of France to Transitland. However, our team has very limited skills at reading French (and none at writing :) We welcome French-speakers to help add more GTFS feeds to github.com/transitland/trans… Thank you/Merci!

Transitland now aggregates from both static GTFS feeds and GTFS Realtime feeds. The "stop departures" API endpoint returns times derived from both static schedules and up-to-the-minute trip updates (* when provided by transit agencies)

The @FTA_DOT is proposing that American transit agencies submit URLs for GTFS feeds in their reports to the US National Transit Database. This is a great idea. We're pleased to share some feedback based on the experience of operating @Transitland: interline.io/blog/us-ntd-rep…

Perceptive users of the Transitland map may have noticed that BART didn't appear for a couple weeks. Thanks to @SFBART for fixing the shapes.txt records in their GTFS feed, we're now able to display the curve of the Transbay Tube and along with all other BART route alignments:

Using @transitland to compare service provided in the four main cities I've lived in. Baltimore, Atlanta, Indianapolis and New York City. Transitland is an open data platform that collects GTFS, GTFS Realtime, and other open data feeds from transit providers around the world.

If you have a Onestop ID, you can now construct links to the Transitland website like so: "transit.land/onestop-id/f-9q…" Users who follow the link will then be redirected the right page for the entity (feed, operator, route, or stop)
