Open Data

The statutory instrument for the Bus Open Data programme was recently formally made on 16th July and is now law.

Following the formal making we have updated it to reflect the latest understanding of requirements.

It covers a load of dates and data formats so we've produced a quick summary for you.

Working with Transport for the North we have developed a guidance document on implementing SIRI SX and its use in sharing disruption data between systems. The document includes use cases and sample XML.

The document can be found in the documents section of this site.

There is a lot of interest in vehicle loading and capacity so we have put together a short paper on the data exchange formats that exist now to enable you to provide vehicle occupancy data.

We are releasing this as a public document, for free, rather than just to members because of the interest in this topic in the wider transport community as we try to support the rebuilding of confidence in public transport following the COVID pandemic.

The aim of this profile is to specify a consistent use of elements and a consistent way of writing TXC that will be used within the DfT Bus Open Data Service.

The profile guide is available for download and use now
