BC Ferries vs Transport for Bordeaux, France
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.
Bordeaux Métropole's open-data portal (Opendatasoft-hosted), publishing city-wide datasets including TBM tram/bus stops, real-time bike-share (VCub) availability, and traffic/parking feeds alongside hundreds of non-transit civic datasets. Public dataset reads work anonymously with no key; higher rate limits and access to restricted datasets require a free account API key.
