Maximizing the Impact of Open Data Platforms in Public Transport
- 2 h 30 min
- Liberté Living-lab: Room 1
Facilitators: Emma Blue, Product Manager Public Transit & David Gamez Diaz, Technical Lead
Description:
Open Data Platforms are revolutionizing the way public transport data is shared and accessed, whether at the regional, national (e.g., European National Access Points), or international level (e.g., Mobility Database). In this interactive session, attendees will uncover the unique needs and opportunities that open data platforms present for key users: the producers (transit authorities) who publish and maintain the data, and the re-users (such as trip planners) who rely on accurate, comprehensive, and up-to-date information. Together, we’ll identify the essential features and best practices that deliver value to both groups, ensuring these platforms reach their full potential in driving innovation and improving the public transport experience. If you’re looking to make the most of open data in your projects, this session is for you.
