NeTEx
NeTEx is the European public-transport data-exchange standard; in this slice it is the machine-readable format BODS uses to distribute bus fare data, complementing TransXChange timetables. In Datadory's catalog of 1,744 datasets, UK Bus Open Data Service holds 2,162 fares datasets published in NeTEx and DB Open Data and DB Developer Portal lists NeTEx among its data_formats are working examples.
What is NeTEx?
NeTEx is the European public-transport data-exchange standard; in this slice it is the machine-readable format BODS uses to distribute bus fare data, complementing TransXChange timetables.
In this catalog it appears concretely: - UK Bus Open Data Service holds 2,162 fares datasets published in NeTEx. - DB Open Data and DB Developer Portal lists NeTEx among its data_formats. - SNCF Open Data Portal — "national GTFS/NeTEx timetables". - Open Transport Data Switzerland tags netex among its published standards.
Why does NeTEx matter when choosing a dataset?
A label on a listing is not a deliverable. Teams that license on the strength of a product-name match routinely find the shipped files cover a narrower slice than they assumed, and backfilling history afterwards costs more than the license ever did.
The failure mode is concrete: the label appears in a listing, the delivered files tell a different story, and the gap surfaces mid-project when fixing it is most expensive.
You rarely have to take a vendor's word for it. 82.4% of the 1,744 datasets Datadory catalogs are free to access, and UK Bus Open Data Service holds 2,162 fares datasets published in NeTEx lets you inspect the real artifact before any budget is committed.
How do you evaluate NeTEx in a data source?
Treat every claim of this attribute as testable:
- Open UK Bus Open Data Service holds 2,162 fares datasets published in NeTEx and compare its listing against the delivered artifact before paying for a commercial equivalent.
- Open DB Open Data and DB Developer Portal lists NeTEx among its data_formats and compare its listing against the delivered artifact before paying for a commercial equivalent.
- Open SNCF Open Data Portal and confirm its record — "national GTFS/NeTEx timetables" — against the files you actually receive.

Frequently asked questions
What is an example of NeTEx?
UK Bus Open Data Service holds 2,162 fares datasets published in NeTEx is the clearest example in this catalog. Its listing is the reference point for this pattern. Across all 1,744 datasets Datadory averages a quality score of 7.81 out of 10, so a named example can be weighed rather than trusted blindly.
Is data described as "NeTEx" free to use?
Treat access and permission separately. 82.4% of the 1,744 datasets in this catalog are free to access, but 235 are freemium and 61 are paid outright, so confirm both the price and the license on the exact distribution before building on it.
How do I verify a source really provides NeTEx?
Open UK Bus Open Data Service holds 2,162 fares datasets published in NeTEx next to DB Open Data and DB Developer Portal lists NeTEx among its data_formats and compare the promise with the download. Field definitions are verified for 1495 of 1,744 datasets (85.7%), which makes that check fast inside the catalog and manual outside it.
