Transport for Berlin, Germany vs Transport for Norway

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.

Entur is Norway's national registry for public transport data, aggregating schedules and real-time updates from 60+ operators (21,000 daily departures) behind a GraphQL Journey Planner API, plus SIRI real-time and NeTEx static feeds. Fully open and free of charge, keyless for read access, though Entur asks every consumer to self-identify with an ET-Client-Name header and reserves the right to rate-limit unidentified traffic; the old developer.entur.org portal is being retired in favor of developer.entur.no.
