Transportation — entry 018 of 69

Land Transport Authority DataMall, Singapore

Verified Jul 2026

Singapore's Land Transport Authority open-data hub for real-time and static transport datasets: bus arrivals, train service alerts, taxi availability, ERP gantry rates, traffic camera images, and more, drawn from LTA's own operational systems. Access requires a free "Account Key" issued after a short online request form, sent as a header on every call to the JSON-only REST endpoints at datamall2.mytransport.sg.
