Bustimes.org is a transportation information website created to take advantage of Bus Services Act 2017 requirements for bus operators by the Department for Transport that bus timetables, fares and vehicle locations could be provided in an open data format, which can be utilised by app and website developers. This DfT service is called the Bus Open Data Service. Location data from operators such as Lothian Buses is supplied to the site via the Transport for Edinburgh Open Data system. The site uses data from AVL tracking to determine and transmit the geographic location of a vehicle, such as data from Ticketer machines and the iBus system in order to display live bus positions on a map.
