Global Transit Stats

Turning live transit data into evidence — for riders and the agencies that serve them.

Data & Advocacy

Reliable transit starts with proof.

Global Transit Stats records the vehicle positions and delay observations published by monitored public transit feeds, minute after minute, building an independent history across agencies. Feed outages and monitoring gaps remain visible as missing coverage rather than being filled with invented data. That record becomes leverage: for riders who want better service, and for cities ready to fix what the data reveals.

Who it's for

Two ways to use the data

The same continuously-recorded history serves a rider organizing for change and a city planning where to invest. Here is how each side puts it to work.

For riders & advocates

Put hard numbers in your corner

Global Transit Stats publishes free, plain-English on-time performance reports — the same on-time rates, delay bands and worst-case figures the dashboard shows, written up as plain-English evidence. Bring it to a city council meeting, a transit board, or your representative. (Currently an early pilot covering a first set of cities; coverage expands.)

  • Free city reliability reports, no account required (pilot — coverage expanding)
  • On-time rate, late share, average and worst delays — by mode
  • Plain-English summary you can cite directly
  • Independent record no single agency controls

For cities & agencies

Commission analysis that drives infrastructure

The public reports show what is happening. A bespoke Global Transit Stats engagement shows why — and where to spend to fix it. We collect dedicated transit data and layer it against terrain, population and equity to turn reliability complaints into a defensible capital plan.

  • Dedicated data collection across your full network
  • Analysis tied to terrain, density and ridership
  • Findings mapped to specific corridors and stops
  • Built for capital planning and grant applications

The difference

Free reports vs. a paid engagement

The free public tier is built from public realtime feeds (vehicle positions and trip updates) alone. A paid engagement adds the context those feeds can't carry — terrain, people and equity.
