Verdict

Switzerland's open mobility data platform: Swiss public transport timetables, real-time departures and disruptions, a journey planner and FEDRO road-traffic data. The limits page says: "In principle, you can obtain file and service related data free of charge." and sets per-service caps, for example "Limit A: 50 requests per minute and API-key" for OJP/CKAN. Above those limits, use is charged: "These limits can be exceeded, but then costs will be incurred*." Attribution is required: "The URL opentransportdata.swiss must be cited as the source for raw data in publications and analyses that make use of ODMCH data." FEDRO traffic data carries its own separate terms of use. Signal Lab links only.
