Transit Partners

Integrate Bird into your transit network

Municipal transit operators and journey-planning platforms can request access to Bird's real-time GBFS and MDS data feeds to show live vehicle availability across your city.

What you get

Real-time vehicle data

Live vehicle positions, charge levels, and availability — updated continuously so riders always see an accurate picture.

First & last mile

Bird vehicles fill the gap between transit stops and final destinations. Surface them in your routing engine to complete the journey.

400+ cities covered

One integration, global reach. Bird operates across hundreds of cities — a single API partnership gives you data wherever Bird runs.

Open standards

Both GBFS and MDS are open, vendor-neutral standards. No proprietary lock-in — data you receive works with any compliant system.
