Where numbers come from

Every time, fare, stop count and service figure is computed from an operator's published feed or fare document. We do not estimate, and we do not copy figures from other websites. Each page names its sources and the date they take effect.

When sources disagree

The operator's own data wins. We have found third-party sites listing the wrong fare zone for a station and publishing a fare that was never charged. When a secondary source conflicts with the official dataset, we use the official one.

Freshness

Schedule feeds are pulled weekly and the site is rebuilt from them. Fare charts are checked whenever an operator announces a revision. Every page shows the date it was last updated and the effective date of the fares it quotes.

Corrections

Errors get fixed as soon as they are confirmed, and the updated date changes with them. If a correction affects a fare or a published time, we say what changed.

Advertising

No operator, agency or advertiser pays for placement here. Nothing on this site is ranked or ordered in exchange for money.

Limits

This is a reference, not a live service. It does not know about today's delays, track changes or planned engineering work. For anything happening right now, use the operator's own app or website.
