University of Maryland College Park bus API

This endpoint lets you get data about bus routes, schedules, stops, locations, and predicted arrival times. The data is provided by NextBus, which monitors buses and gives the data to us via their API. We think our API is easier to use, but our data might be behind NextBus by a few seconds. If your app requires to-the-second bus location info, you can go right to the source. All bus data is copyright University of Maryland

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of University of Maryland College Park bus API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
