Copyright Notices

In certain cases, data provided by transit agencies cannot be used without displaying copyright notices to the end user. If a routing response contains this type of data, the Public Transit API v8 adds operator attribution information to the route response. Operator attribution must be displayed together with a route. This requirement is part of the terms and conditions for Public Transit API v8.
