Transport for the North (TfN) has developed a service to enable bus operators to publish fares in a standardised data format. Named the Create Fares Data Service, it will initially be available for bus services in the TfN region but is to be handed to the DfT to develop as a national service. It is intended to enable the operators to publish fares online and in journey planning apps, to help app developers use the data in other services. The tool has been developed in partnership with the Department for Transport (DfT) and Traveline – a partnership of transport companies, local authorities and passenger groups – as part of TfN’s Integrated and Smart Travel programme.
