What’s New in the Mobility Database – May 2025 Update

The Mobility Database is an international catalog of public transit data for transit agencies, rider-facing apps, technology vendors, researchers, and others to use. It features over 3,000 General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) and GTFS Realtime feeds.

Here's what we did in May:

✨ Features and Updates

Search by GTFS feature

🤔 Curious to know which GTFS features different agencies support? This new search filter allows you to easily discover feeds based on the features they’ve implemented, such as Fares, Flex or Pathways. Explore here.

Update: TransitFeeds will be deprecated by December 2025

The Mobility Database is replacing TransitFeeds.com as the central open platform for discovering transit data. We’ll be adding two more features before removing access to TransitFeeds at the end of this year:

  • Moving historical TransitFeeds data to the Mobility Database
  • Adding routes and stop visualizations for each feed
