The goal of OneBusAway is to improve the usability of public transit. To help achieve that goal, we provide a number of open-source tools and applications to help transit agencies, riders, and developers work with public transit systems.
This wiki on github is the home for developer-related content for the OneBusAway project. Please see the OneBusAway project home page for information for transit agencies, project vision statement, high-level development agenda, research projects and publications, and a description of project governance.
The main OneBusAway Application Suite is designed to share real-time public transit information with riders across a variety of interfaces, including Web, Developer APIs, Apps for smart-phones, SMS, and Phone IVR. Are you interested in deploying OneBusAway for your own transit agency? Start with a look at the features provided by OneBusAway and our general guide about what it takes to run OneBusAway.
If OneBusAway looks like it might be a good fit for you, get started here.
Are you looking for help with deploying OneBusAway or a custom solution for your agency? Feel free to contact us for more information.
OneBusAway provides a complete open-source implementation of a web application, REST API, and many mobile apps. Check out the OneBusAway Features page for more details on what OneBusAway has to offer. Want to help? Check out the OneBusAway Applications Modules for information on how to get the source, contribute to the project, and learn about its components. Also check out Project Governance for details on how the project is managed.
All current and potential developers should use the RoadMap.
OneBusAway also provides a number of libraries and utilities to work with transit data, including support for many standard formats such as GTFS, GTFS-realtime, and SIRI.
(And we'd like to take a second to specially thank EJ Technologies for their support of open source software by making JProfiler free to use for our team--check out JProfiler at: http://www.ej-technologies.com/products/jprofiler/overview.html)
OneBusAway got its start as a set of tools for riders of a number of transit agencies in the Puget Sound region of the state of Washington, USA. See http://pugetsound.onebusaway.org/ to get started.
The transit data that powers the Puget Sound instance of OneBusAway is also available through a REST API service. See Sound Transit Open Transit Data for information on how to access the data.
OneBusAway has expanded beyond the Seattle/Puget Sound region. See the OneBusAway Deployments page for more information.
