Transit

aid: transit-app
name: Transit
description: Transit is a Montreal-based mobility app that provides real-time public transit, multimodal trip planning, and
  shared-mobility navigation across 1,000+ cities worldwide. The consumer app displays nearby buses, subways, trains, bikeshare,
  scooters, carshare, and on-demand transit the moment it opens, and is augmented by "GO" crowdsourced vehicle locations contributed
  by millions of riders. Transit operates a partner program for transit agencies, mobility operators, and third-party developers,
  exposing its routing, real-time, alerts, and shared-mobility surface through the public Transit API (api-doc.transitapp.com,
  v4 stable). The v4 API is a single OpenAPI 3.1 contract covering nearby routes and stops, stop departures, multimodal trip
  planning, placemarks for shared-mobility vehicles and docks, available networks, route and trip details, service alerts,
  and real-time vehicle positions. Authentication is an apiKey header; the free tier allows 5 requests per minute and 1,500
  calls per month after key approval, with custom commercial plans available through partners@transit.app.
