FivePaths

Our Transit Work

Where is the bus? How do I get from A to B? Is there a service interruption? Can I use the elevator? FivePaths is a longtime leader in building clear and compelling transit data solutions for transit agencies to answer their core questions.

Caltrain and SMCTD

In collaboration with Caltrain and the San Mateo County Transit District, we implemented a comprehensive multisite rebuild focused on enhancing transit data accessibility. This involved replacing a manual schedule process with automated GTFS integration, enabling accurate, real-time schedule display. We also introduced filterable schedules, consolidated alert feeds, and transit data-enabled maps with real-time train tracking.

SFMTA

Working closely with SFMTA, FivePaths has delivered engineering solutions that significantly improve real-time transit information. Our integrated GTFS platform automates schedule updates, provides contextually relevant alerts at each stop, and displays live vehicle locations and arrival times. We power transit data systems across the city, including the Salesforce Transit Center pylons, with accurate route and arrival predictions. Our website further enhances public awareness by integrating detailed transit project information with relevant route and stop data.
