OCInfo

People asked me to get them the data from OC Transpo to develop their own apps.

Right now, I do not intend to share my data or my code to anyone for the some simple reasons:

1. The code is still in beta.
2. Although the code has been completely re-written from the alpha version of 560 Mobile (the old version of OCInfo Mobile) to use object-oriented code, it’s still not pretty.
3. The data users get is not always accurate. It’s rare, but I don’t want to give these problems to other developers.

Although, the result page of OCInfo Mobile has its HTML quite well formatted. Using a combination of a good XML parser and proper XPath queries, I’m sure any developer can get the data they want using the result page. As long as you state that OC Transpo is the maintainer of the data, OCInfo prepared the data for use, and neither of us approves your application, I have no problem with third-party developers parsing the result page of OCInfo Mobile to get the data they want.
