What can you do with it?
Add journey planning to your mobile app or website
Help travellers plan their inbound and onward travel options within your website and app. Customise the experience with clearly defined locations within the airport as the seed points for journey origins and destinations, so avoid passengers getting off the bus on the wrong side of the runway. Encourage specific modes such as long-distance coach, which make great options, but might not get prioritised by third party journey planners.
Own the relationship with airport passengers, along with all the benefit that brings: sell ticket upgrades or offer rewards directly. No more being commoditised in someone else’s transit app: you are the one to reap the benefits.
Power your apps, website and screens with realtime passenger information
Augment your apps and web services and all other digital assets with comprehensive timetables and realtime information for all transport modes. Access the same data in the same way, whether its for a mobile app, web service, or dedicated screens installed within the airport.
We've got every bus stop and train station in the country covered. If the data doesn't look right at your airport, we will speak to the owners of the datasets to get it fixed at source.
Beyond the timetables and real time information, we can provide the live location of moving buses, and the on-street geometry of the routes that they follow. Automated processes constantly update all sources in the background, so you can wave goodbye to static assets that go stale when the timetables change.
Providing reliable public transport information not only allows passengers to make better journey decisions, it reduces the anxiety associated with navigating the public transport network. This encourages passengers to try public transport to travel to airports for the first time, and is a powerful determinant of whether they opt to do it again in future.
How it works
Complete set of data sources
TAPI Bus Information ingests and blends all the industry standard open data on schedules and RTI. GB-wide bus schedules from the Traveline National Data Set (TNDS) and BODS TXC, bus stops from NaPTAN, operator codes from the National Operator Codes (NOC) dataset, postcodes from Ordnance Survey Codepoint and others. GB-wide Bus RTI from BODS SIRI VM and Traveline Nextbuses SIRI SM. Rail information from Network Rail and National Rail.
If you need more control over the data we can ingest custom sources for any private bus options that you wish to include such as airport shuttles.
An active backend partner
Our primary role is as an aggregator, but our aim is to ensure we make complete and accurate public transport data as easy to use as possible. To achieve that goal we move up and down the tech stack to fix issues that may otherwise negatively impact airport passengers.
We recommend improvements to national data sets such as NaPTAN, the National data set for bus stops and train stations, when we find that these datasets don't match the situation on the ground. Similarly we talk to schedulers when their timetables don't match what their buses do in real life.
Moving in the other direction, we work with front-end developers to ensure they can access the resources they need to develop reliable information services that look great.
