Civic Open Transit Initiative

Empowering Davao City with Open Transit Telemetry

An independent civic tech initiative by Kurzyrio designed to eliminate transit guesswork. We transform raw civic transponder signals into fast, developer-friendly open APIs and power the community-driven SkwelaDabaw App for students, workers, and commuters across Davao City.

Core Pillars & Architecture

Students & Commuters First

Engineered specifically to solve real daily commuting pain in Davao City. Real-time arrival estimation and bus coordinates feed directly into the SkwelaDabaw App, giving students predictable transit schedules across campus corridors.

Developer-Ready Transit Data

Raw transponder telemetry is cleaned, validated, cached, and served through high-performance REST endpoints with strict schemas, CORS enablement, and multi-format representations for easy integration into web, mobile, and GIS apps.

Open API • 6 Formats Supported →

Zero Commercialization & Privacy

We collect no user profiles, store no tracking cookies, and sell no transit statistics. The platform operates as a transparent public utility with fair-use IP throttling (120 req/min) to prevent abuse and protect infrastructure stability.

Built by Kurzyrio

Created as an open civic software project to advance digital mobility across Davao City. DavaoBus serves as the foundational data backbone for the SkwelaDabaw mobile ecosystem, ensuring that students, commuters, and fellow developers have uninterrupted access to municipal bus tracking.
