Apimetro vs Transport for Lisbon, Portugal
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.
EMEL (Lisbon's municipal mobility and parking operator) publishes its open data through the city's Lisboa Aberta CKAN portal rather than a dedicated live API — the old emel.city-platform.com/opendata/ address now 302-redirects to an unrelated EMEL page. Datasets cover on-street and off-street parking locations and occupancy, GIRA bike-share, regulated parking zones, road tunnels, and street furniture, served keyless as CSV, SHP, and JSON via CKAN's standard action API.
