Services such as Google Maps, Citymapper and Traveline rely on transport data, but the DfT says more could be done by the transport sector to assist in this area.

The TDS is focused on improving data sharing to benefit transport users, promoting data standards, improving data skills in the workforce, ensuring appropriate governance and communication with the sector, and providing leadership and support for the sector.Īs part of the drive, the government has launched the Find Transport Data catalogue to provide easy access to resources such as Bus Open Data Service, which launched in 2020, and Street Manager, which provides live data on street works.
