Providing data to other actors may benefit your operations significantly.
When you share your data, you make your services and data more visible to potential end users. This may lead to new collaboration opportunities and grow your business.
Fintraffic’s data platforms make sharing data easy, as we offer a ready-made channel that allows you to make your data available to the general public.
Fintraffic helps data producers and makes the use of data easier by issuing recommendations on data models and interfaces related to the distribution of different types of data. These recommendations are always based on solutions that are commonly used and accepted in the EU or internationally. For example, the Datex2 standard is used in road transport, while the NeTEx and GTFS standards are favoured in public transport. National application guidelines are currently being drafted for the latter two.

The decree obliges traffic operators to share data
The NAP traffic service catalogue serves as the open national access point (NAP), to which traffic service providers are obliged to submit essential information on their services via digital machine-readable interfaces.
Traffic services mean passenger traffic services (by road, sea and air), stations, ports and terminals, vehicle-for-hire services, commercial shared mobility services, general commercial parking services and brokering services.
Essential information includes operating areas, routes, timetables, prices, service availability and accessibility, and information about tickets, reservation and sales channels, and payment methods. Not all information is relevant for each service. The information to be opened is specified in the government decree.
In the future, the obligation to provide data will be applied to an increasing number of actors. Fintraffic will become an even stronger national access point (NAP) for all information in the traffic sector. The traffic sector’s information sharing obligations until 2028 are outlined in the attachment on this page (MMTIS obligations and roadmap to support the standardisation of travel data).
