Apimetro vs Transport for Berlin, Germany

Apimetro is an independent developer's geospatial dataset covering Mexico City's public-transport network — Metro, Metrobús, Cablebús, RTP, Trolebús, Tren Ligero, Mexicable, Mexibús, and CETRAM hubs — with per-station and per-line lookups, ready-to-render GeoJSON geometries, and historical ridership (afluencia) figures. Every endpoint answers without a key despite a BasicAuth scheme declared in its Swagger doc, and it's distributed under the Business Source License 1.1.

vbb-rest is an open-source, community-built REST wrapper around VBB's official HAFAS backend for Berlin and Brandenburg public transit, covering stop search, departures, journeys, and live vehicle positions in the Friendly Public Transport Format (JSON). It's keyless and free, now on its 6th major version — the previously indexed v3 endpoint is deprecated in favor of v6.vbb.transport.rest.
