Standards for public transport data
To increase public transportation usage, it is becoming increasingly important to make information more accessible to passengers and between operators. This requires a standardized way to exchange public transport information. However, there are several standards within public transportation, and it can sometimes be difficult to know which one to prioritize.

Summary of White Paper about Standards for public transport data
To increase the use of public transportation, it is becoming increasingly important for information to be more accessible to both passengers and operators. This requires a standardized way of exchanging public transportation data. However, there are several standards in public transportation, and it can sometimes be difficult to know which ones to prioritize.
At Samtrafiken, we have many years of experience working with these standards, both for our owners and partners, as well as in European projects on standards in which we participate. To support future procurements and projects, we would like to highlight the standards that should be prioritized to promote the continued development of public transportation.
Samtrafiken recommends that systems handling traffic data be able to export this data in the following formats:
- For static traffic data, such as timetables, stop data, etc., NeTEx should be used. It can handle data at the required level of detail and is considered the best long-term option, as well as being regulated by the EU.
- For real-time data, such as positioning, passenger counting, etc., SIRI should be used. It can handle data at the required level of detail and is considered the best long-term option, as well as being regulated by the EU.
