Map and transit providers
Interactive maps display the active provider attribution beside the map. OpenStreetMap data remains available under the Open Database Licence. CARTO or Mapbox terms apply when that provider supplies the basemap. Google’s terms apply only to an explicitly requested mode comparison.
OC Transpo and STO schedules, realtime feeds, and alerts remain subject to the publishing operator’s developer or open-data terms. Environment and Climate Change Canada terms remain attached to weather data. Otranspo does not remove these source conditions when it calculates, caches, or republishes a derived result.
