BC Ferries vs Transport for Berlin, Germany

BC Ferries

An independent, keyless JSON API built by developer Sam Pratt that scrapes and republishes BC Ferries' current sailing schedules, capacity and fill percentages, and vessel names for both major and minor routes via simple GET endpoints like /v2/capacity and /v2/noncapacity. It's a hobbyist project sustained through GitHub Sponsors donations rather than an official BC Ferries product, and it also backs a companion iOS app.

Transport for Berlin, Germany

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.
