The goal of OneBusAway is to improve the usability of public transit. To help achieve that goal, we provide a number of open-source tools and applications to help transit agencies, riders, and developers work with public transit systems.

For Agencies and Users wanting to run OneBusAway

The main OneBusAway application suite is designed share real-time public transit information with riders across a variety of interfaces, including Web, Developer APIs, Apps for smart-phones, SMS, and Phone IVR. Are you interested in deploying OneBusAway for your own transit agency? Start with a look at the features provided by OneBusAway and our general guide about what it takes to run OneBusAway. If OneBusAway looks like it might be a good fit for you, move on to the quick-start guide and the general application documentation.
