Community Transit vs OpenVan
Community Transit, the public transit authority for Snohomish County, WA, publishes its own GTFS schedule data (current and upcoming service-change versions) plus three keyless GTFS-Realtime feeds — trip updates, vehicle positions, and service alerts — as static downloads. The original listing pointed at TransitLand's decommissioned v1 GitHub README with no real connection to this agency; reconciled here to Community Transit's own open-data portal.
OpenVan.camp publishes a curated read-only OpenAPI schema for vanlife/RV travel planning: fuel prices by country, currency rates, a VanBasket food-cost index, VanSky weather-suitability scores, plus vanlife news stories and events. No authentication is required and the schema is discoverable at the site's `.well-known/openapi.json`; requests are capped at 120/minute per IP and the data is CC BY 4.0 licensed.
