Does the next bus or train at this stop have accessible low-floor boarding? Arriving at a stop only to find the next vehicle cannot lower or the platform has no step-free access is a common frustration for mobility aid users.
Accessible Transit Boarding Info API reports the boarding accessibility of the next departures at a stop. A call to GET /stops/{id}/boarding returns { "next": [{ "line": "9", "departs": "14:05", "boarding": "low-floor" }] }.
Limits: boarding features are as reported by operators and can change per vehicle; absence of a feature flag does not guarantee availability.
Status: pre-launch. The endpoints described here are not yet live; request early access from the link on this page.
Boarding features are as reported by operators and can vary between vehicles on the same line. A missing feature flag does not guarantee that a vehicle is inaccessible.
A typical caller is a transit app showing boarding access before a user commits to a departure. The report reduces the chance of being caught at an inaccessible stop.
The list is limited to the next few departures so the response stays small and fast to render.
