Open data

All Föli timetable information is now available via open API. Föli also provides a sale API for selling Föli tickets for the use of all instances interested in cooperating within the public transport service.

The open data interface of Föli timetables

All Föli timetable information is now available via open API at data.foli.fi. The interface provides access to both static and real-time information about the running of Turku Region Public Transport’s buses.

The interface is public in principle, and can be used freely with no need to register. However, use of the interface must be relevant and appropriate, and applications using the interface must aim to use the resources provided cost-effectively, avoiding placing an unnecessary load on the back-end system.

There are three data sources available via the interface: 

  • GTFS features static information content which is less variable, concerning stops, lines and the planned timetables.
  • SIRI features real-time information about the vehicles’ movement, as well as calculated predicted information about actual timetables.

Open data interface for passenger numbers

Föli public transport’s daily number of passengers per line and stop. The material is based on ticket validation transactions made in the payment device system. The date of departure is registered as the date. For example, a departure that took place at 23:55 may have a transaction at 00:10 in which case it will register for the previous day. Data of less than five ticket validations has been deleted.

The material is from 2020.
