TFL Bus Aggregate Data

[Matthew Newcombe]

Hello there,

We're a couple of student developers looking at the opportunity of
creating an application which does bus routing across london, do you
guys know whether an existing tfl bus api exists for this purpose, or
whether it's even realistically possible to aggregate the data via
scrappers from the TFL website? Are there any parties working on this
already?

Kind Regards,

Matt.

Mathew, TFHell was created which did exactly this. But then we
discovered this yesterday!!! So it is out there but not available yet.
Follow @tfhell on twitter to get in touch with the people who were
working on it

TfL provide no APIs to their routing engine, there was a ruby project
somewhere on github that aimed to scrape it, but afaik it never got
worked on much.

transportdirect.info - the national equivalent of the TfL
journeyplanner - do provide APIs, but it is supposedly difficult to
get access.
