Transport for Bordeaux, France vs Transport for Denver, US
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.
RTD Denver's original gtfs-developer-guide.shtml page is gone after a full site rebuild (now 404s); the transit agency's open-data offering now lives under open-records/open-spatial-information, split into static GTFS zip downloads (bus, light rail, commuter rail, plus the regional Bustang service) and three GTFS-Realtime protocol-buffer feeds (vehicle positions, trip updates, alerts). No API key is required, only acceptance of a redistribution license agreement.
