Transport for Honolulu, US
Oahu Transit Services' Web Services API for TheBus/HEA (Honolulu Estimated Arrival) provides read-only real-time arrival predictions and vehicle-location lookups via simple GET endpoints on api.thebus.org, alongside a static GTFS feed for schedule and route data. Every call needs a registered AppID passed as a query parameter, and responses can be returned as either XML (default) or JSON.
