CityBikes
Open access API for bike sharing information
Citybikes is the most comprehensive open access API for bike sharing information, with support for more than 700 cities all around the world. The goal of the project is to promote open data policies and showcase the benefits of open data to city councils and companies that provide public services to society.
Less than 25% of Citybikes data comes from open data standard feeds—for every city in citybikes publishing their bike sharing information in a reusable format, there are at least three more that do not use a standard format. Citybikes aims to change that by providing developers, researchers and organizations with a standard resource to bridge this gap and contribute towards an interoperable open data ecosystem for mobility services.
