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 where every bus, train, tram and ferry in its live-tracked cities actually is — and whether it is on time — minute after minute, building an independent history no single agency publishes. 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.
