As you discovered in previous episodes, maps.mo-bi.ro is more than just a route planner. It is a complex platform that incorporates essential public transport information: routes, the metropolitan train project, bus depot and garage maps, the traffic light system, the metro network, and the street directory. All of these share one common element: data.
TPBI is the only institution that provides the public with open data about public transport in the Bucharest-Ilfov region. And the good news is that you can integrate this data directly into your applications!
Where can you access it?
-
Go to mo-bi.ro.
-
Menu → Source Code Link → Source Code and Open Data.
The first link leads you to RealTimeMap, which contains data for the frontend (layers, buttons, interactions) and to Endpoint_OpenData, which includes backend data.
The second link gives you access to real-time data for all vehicles and information about their occupancy levels.
The documentation includes:
-
Terms and conditions of use;
-
GPLv3 licensing in Romanian and English;
-
Angular Map documentation;
-
Open-API documentation.
The Angular Map documentation explains everything related to the frontend from a technical perspective, while the Open-API documentation does the same for the backend.
We encourage you to carefully review the terms of use for the open data — compliance with them is mandatory.
