  title: Moovit Public Transit APIs
  description: >-
    Moovit Public Transit APIs power multimodal trip planning, nearby transit
    discovery, stops and lines metadata, real-time arrival predictions, and
    service alerts across more than 3,500 cities in 112 countries. The APIs
    are tuned for short response times and are used to power Microsoft (Azure
    Maps), Uber, Lyft, Cubic, and city/transit-agency MaaS deployments.
    Authentication is HMAC-SHA256 with an API_KEY header plus an Authorization
    header of the form `hmacauth <signature>:<nonce>:<timestamp>`. All requests
    must carry a metro identifier (either a USER_LOC lat/lon pair or a
    MOOVIT_METRO_ID).
