What is the Occupancy API?

The Occupancy API was designed and developed by CITiO after 2020 Covid-19 lockdown as a way to rebuild trust in public transport, provide relevant information, reassure passengers and create transparency between a PTA and their travellers.

The Occupancy API is meant to help PTAs, PTOs and Trip Planners improve their services by providing relevant information to travellers. For example, a Trip Planner can use the Occupancy Prediction API to display within its app the usual crowding of a trip that the traveller is planning, and encourage them switching to another itinerary, move forward or report their trip.

The Occupancy API is a service provided by CITiO to estimate the occupancy of a scheduled course.

An API is a technical service that makes it possible to connect different software systems and transfer information from on to another. For example, a data provider can send data to a passenger information service which can then display that information instantly.

It can be used in real-time (ie while the course is already started), or several days before a scheduled course happens.
