Congratulations to the connectbayarea.com campaign! We were glad to make a small cash donation as their massive signature-gathering drive got underway, and are thrilled to see this transit-funding measure heading to November ballots across five SF Bay Area counties:

Mission Local@missionlocal.org · 2mo ago

A measure that'd inject some $310M into BART and keep it (and other Bay Area transit agencies) from potentially collapsing has reached its signature-gathering goal. Yes, you'll be voting on this in November. missionlocal.org/2026/05/bart...

The California Coastal Commission recently updated YourCoast, an interactive web map of over 1,600 public access points. You can filter by restrooms, surfing, camping, dog-friendliness, stroller access, car parking... What you can't filter by is public transit www.interline.io/blog/riding-...

Riding transit to California's beaches

Great work by University of Illinois's Urban Traffic & Economics Lab to curate and create GTFS data for many intercity bus routes. We've added their feed into the Transitland Atlas and its routes, stops, schedules, etc. can now be queried using Transitland's APIs: www.transit.land/feeds/f-utel...

A GTFS-Based Dataset for the US Intercity Bus Network

Transitland's new Pathways Explorer lets anyone visualize subway/train/bus station layouts, inspect wheelchair-accessible routes, and test station navigation using GTFS-Pathways data in public feeds. More on our blog at www.interline.io/blog/explore...

Zip archives are wrappers. To identify a GTFS feed, you have to unwrap it and look inside... More on how Transitland minimizes unnecessary duplication on our blog at www.interline.io/blog/gtfs-ch...

Same data, different zip: How to identify unique GTFS feed versions

Standard zip hashes are unreliable for GTFS versioning due to variable metadata. Learn to use content-aware checksums to accurately identify unique transit datasets.

Built with Transitland: "A subway arrivals sign using an off-the-shelf sign and a Raspberry Pi. No soldering skills required." The creator has been generous enough to share their instructions and source code: github.com/mdejean/signpi

Explore GTFS-Pathways station data using Transitland's global transit map: 1) Click the gear icon to access advanced settings 2) Enable all stop types 3) Move your cursor over stop points 4) Notice the icons for station entrances and other station pathway nodes (This example shows @mbta.com)

Transitland's global transit map now provides info on bus, subway, train, and ferry stops around the world: 1) Zoom in 2) Click on a stop point 3) Drill down into Transitland's full depth of information, including real-time departures Try Transitland global transit map at www.transit.land/map

Whether you're an analyst learning your way around GTFS data or a transit agency staffer trying to quickly debug your own systems, Transitland now provides the tools you need to automatically parse and read GTFS Realtime feeds: www.interline.io/blog/easily-...

Easily inspect GTFS Realtime using Transitland's website or API

Web browsers and text editors can't open GTFS Realtime. But with Transitland, you now can.

Transitland parses thousands of #GTFS and GTFS Realtime feeds using our Go-based "transitland-lib" software library. On the occasion of its v1.0.0 release, we thought we'd blog about its speed, flexibility, and capabilities:

Together with a number of small refinements and large refactoring for future functionality, we've added a "dark" mode to the Transitland website. Try it out at https://www.transit.land

The US Federal Transit Administration extended the comment period to January 29 re requiring transit agencies to insert their National Transit Database IDs into GTFS feeds. Our critical feedback:

US National Transit Database releases data and requests more feedback

Hello. Nice of Bluesky for letting us update our handle to @transit.land

When I'm new to city, @transitland.bsky.social helps me understand its underlying mobility structure. TransitLand learned from @googlemaps.bsky.social excellence on street and highway scaling and applied to transit. Here's hoping all mobility mapping will focus on user utility rather than mode

I ❤️ Transitland. For most western North America and Global South cities, rapid buses are core mobility. Yet most maps elevate infrequent rail lines aimed at the elite. I love this update but worry it under-values rail in European and East Asian cities. Thoughts?

We've refined Transitland's global map to emphasize where riders can access the most frequent transit service. Thanks to staff at San Francisco's transit agency (including @jeffreytumlin.bsky.social) for informing this improvement: www.interline.io/blog/giving-...

Giving equal prominence to buses and trains on the map
