Transportation — entry 049 of 69
Transport for Manchester, England
Transport for Greater Manchester's open data covers Bee Network bus, tram (Metrolink), and car-park data for Greater Manchester, including a documented OData feed for live Metrolink tram positions and disruptions. The dedicated developer.tfgm.com signup portal has been folded into TfGM's main open-data hub and stopped issuing new subscription keys, though previously issued keys continue to work against the existing api.tfgm.com endpoints.
