Railway Transport for France
SNCF's developer API for French train itineraries, real-time and theoretical station departures, and line timetables, built on top of the Navitia journey-planning engine. A free tier covers 150,000 requests per month (5,000 per day) with community support, while businesses needing higher volume or priority support negotiate a custom enterprise plan.
