Metro Transit Plans Pricing

Metro Transit (the public-transit operator for the Twin Cities, MN, governed by the Metropolitan Council) publishes its real-time vehicle, schedule, alert, and trip-planner data as free open data. Static schedules are published as GTFS zip files; real-time vehicle positions, trip updates, and service alerts are published as GTFS-realtime protobuf feeds refreshed every 5 seconds. A REST API (NexTrip / schedule / alerts / trip planner) is also documented at svc.metrotransit.org. There is no API key, no usage cap, and no commercial tier — the data is offered to developers under open-data terms with attribution.
