MARTA API
Real-time transit information for the Atlanta Region
This API is best for developers who want to integrate real-time transit information for the Atlanta region into their applications.
Developers would use the MARTA API to build real-time transit tracking applications for the Atlanta region. With the ability to access real-time rail and bus predictions and scheduling information, vehicle locations and service advisories, developers can create enhanced navigation apps, build applications that notify when specific buses or trains are arriving at a particular stop, or even mash up the API with other transportation APIs to create a comprehensive transportation app. The robust developer resources and tools make it easy to get started with the API, and the API is constantly updated with new information and features.
Key features
- Real-time rail and bus predictions and scheduling information
- Real-time rail and bus vehicle locations
- Real-time service advisories and alerts
- Static data about rail stations, bus routes, and stops
- Developer resources and tools
Potential use cases
- Transit tracking app: Integrate MARTA API into a transit tracking app so that users can see real-time train and bus predictions and arrive at the stations just as their train or bus is arriving
- Commute planning app: Use the MARTA API to help commuters plan their commutes by displaying real-time train and bus predictions along with updates on delays and service advisories
- Smart parking solution: Combine the MARTA API with a parking API to create a smart parking solution that recommends the best place to park depending on the user's destination
Thanks to the MARTA API, I was able to build an Atlanta transit tracking app within a few days. It has increased the convenience of public transportation for thousands of users who can now track their train and bus arrivals from the comfort of their phone.
