SEPTA Bus and Trolley Location API

This REST API provides real-time SEPTA vehicle positions based on a GPS data feed for each bus and trolley. There are two services - one returning JSON points for the current locations of all vehicles on a particular route and one returning a KML route.

The JSON API has one variable at the end of the URL in the format:
http://www3.septa.org/transitview/bus_route_data/var1

[var1] is the route name. It must be alpha-numeric and must be a valid SEPTA route. Lettered routes are not case sensitive for the JSON service but must be in caps for the KML service.

An example: http://www3.septa.org/transitview/bus_route_data/23

The KML service trace file shows the patterns that the route follows. The API has one variable in the format:
http://www3.septa.org/transitview/kml/var1

[var1] is the name of the route. Lettered routes must be in Caps, such as: http://www3.septa.org/transitview/kml/G
