# busmaps.com

> Global public transit data platform. We aggregate, validate, and deliver schedules, real-time positions, and routing for 300,000+ routes across 90+ countries. One unified API — production-ready, sub-100ms response times, 99.5% uptime SLA.

busmaps.com collects raw GTFS and GTFS-RT feeds from 7,000+ transit agencies worldwide, runs them through an automated three-stage pipeline with 80+ correction, enrichment, and validation rules, and serves clean, consistent data via a RESTful API. The platform covers official agency data (busmaps.com) and crowdsourced data from emerging markets via WikiRoutes.info — together reaching cities invisible to Google Maps and HERE.

Founded to fix the transit data layer: fragmented, unvalidated, delayed, or missing data is the reason public transport loses to ride-hailing apps. We make transit digitally competitive.
