Community Transit vs Transport for Norway
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.
Entur is Norway's national registry for public transport data. It combines schedules and real-time updates from more than 60 operators, with 21,000 departures a day. It offers a GraphQL Journey Planner at https://api.entur.io/journey-planner/v3/graphql, a REST geocoder (v3) for address and place lookups, SIRI real-time feeds, and NeTEx static feeds. Access is free and keyless for read use. Entur asks each consumer to add an ET-Client-Name header, and it may rate-limit traffic that doesn't. The old developer.entur.org portal still publishes API changes, but Entur will retire it once its content moves to developer.entur.no.
