1. The service

Live Transit Detroit is a free public map and journey planner operated by AutomatedTechnologies d/b/a Detroit Automation Academy. It displays public transit stops, routes, schedules, and — while the live sources are operating — vehicle positions for the Detroit area, and it computes journeys from published schedule data. There is no account, no charge, and no advertising.

2. Your agreement

By using Live Transit Detroit, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service. These terms govern the whole application, including every data source it displays.

3. Where the data comes from

The schedule, route, and stop data shown in the application comes from published GTFS schedule files. The street underlay is U.S. Census Bureau TIGER/Line data. Live vehicle positions and service information shown in the application come from the agencies' own systems, through the following sources, as each source is in use:

• DDOT vehicle positions and service bulletins: the Detroit Department of Transportation's BusTime system, operated by Clever Devices.
• SMART vehicle positions: Swiftly, Inc.
• QLINE vehicle positions: the QLINE's public GTFS-Realtime stream.

Agency and company names are used only to state where the data comes from. Nothing in the application or these terms implies that any agency or company endorses this service.

4. What you may do with the data — and what you may not

The live data displayed in the application is provided for your personal viewing inside the application. You may use the application through its own interface, in the ordinary way a rider uses a map.

You may not:

• scrape, harvest, crawl, or otherwise extract the live data, or the files that carry it, in bulk or systematically, by automated means or by hand;
• copy, redistribute, republish, sell, lease, share, transfer, or sublicense the live data or any feed of it, in whole or in part, to any other person or service;
• use the live data to build, supply, or operate a competing data product, data feed, or transit data service;
• remove or alter any attribution, copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice shown with the data or the application;
• interfere with the operation of the service or of the data sources it depends on.

Ordinary use of the application's own interface — opening the map, planning a journey, reading a stop card — is not extraction and is not restricted by this section.

5. No warranty

The service and all data it displays are provided "as is." AutomatedTechnologies d/b/a Detroit Automation Academy and its data sources make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the service or the data, including any warranty of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose, and any warranty against infringement of third-party rights.

Vehicle positions, arrival estimates, and service information may be delayed, inaccurate, incomplete, or unavailable, including without any notice on the map. Do not rely on this service for safety-critical decisions. Published schedules and the operating agencies remain the authority for service information.

6. Limits on liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, AutomatedTechnologies d/b/a Detroit Automation Academy and its data sources are not responsible or liable for: (a) any loss of, or inaccuracy in, the data the service displays, or the cost of obtaining substitute information; or (b) any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of the service or the data, including loss of revenue or profits. Nothing in these terms limits liability for bodily injury.

7. Changes to the service

AutomatedTechnologies d/b/a Detroit Automation Academy may change, suspend, or discontinue the service, or any data source it uses, at any time and without notice. These terms may be revised; the current version is the one published at this address, with its "Last updated" date.
