Moovit
Moovit is a Tel Aviv-founded urban mobility company acquired by Intel in May 2020 for approximately $900M and now part of Mobileye's Mobility-as-a- Service (MaaS) business. The Moovit consumer app provides public transit trip planning, real-time arrivals, and service alerts to more than 1.5 billion users across 3,500+ cities in 112+ countries, sourcing both official agency data and crowdsourced transit reports from its global community. Moovit's commercial offering is the Public Transit API suite — a thin, volume-metered HTTP API exposing six API families (Trip Plan, Nearby, Stops, Lines, Real-Time, Service Alerts) plus GTFS-Realtime feeds and a search API. The APIs power Microsoft (Azure Maps), Uber, Lyft, Cubic, and city/transit-agency MaaS deployments. Authentication is HMAC-SHA256 with a metro-scoped request header (USER_LOC or MOOVIT_METRO_ID). Pricing and rate limits are negotiated per customer; there is no self-service developer signup — credentials are issued by [email protected].

The Moovit Public Transit API suite — a thin, volume-metered HTTP API
for multimodal trip planning, nearby transit discovery, stops and
lines metadata, real-time arrival predictions, service alerts, and
GTFS-Realtime feeds. Auth is HMAC-SHA256 over `<timestamp>:<payload>:
<nonce>` with an API_KEY header and a USER_LOC or MOOVIT_METRO_ID
header that scopes the request to a metro area.
