How Transit displays GBFS data

Transit ingests GBFS data for shared micromobility such as bikeshare, carshare, and scooters. Transit will display real-time availability of vehicles for both station-based and free-floating systems, including distinguishing between vehicle types (such as electric vehicles).

Transit provides stand-alone and multi-modal trip planning for shared micromobility and personal e-bikes, and differentiates between the trip length by using both the user's own travel speed settings and GBFS information provided on e-bike/scooter battery wattage and range.

Transit will display the estimated battery level, costs to ride, and locations of scooters and bikes if available in the provider's GBFS. Transit will also link to the operator's app for the user to unlock and pay for their trip, if a universal link is available in the provider's GBFS.

Below are images of how various GBFS fields are used within Transit. This document aims to assist data producers in understanding how their data feed will appear within the app.
