🙌 GBFS Feeds Added Last Month

• 🇨🇭 4 new feeds of shared bikes, scooters and cars have been added from the Swiss catalog (thanks @ue71603!)
• 🇩🇪 13 new feeds of shared scooters and cars have been added from the MobiData BW catalog (thanks @derhuerst!)
• 🇫🇷 6 new feeds of shared bikes, scooters and cars have been added from the French National Access Point (thanks @AntoineAugusti!)

The feed authentication information has been structured in the catalog systems.csv. As always, we recommend opening the data without authentication, which ensures greater service visibility.

✨ Spec Updates

• Fare capping (#745): A proposal to add capped fares to the specification has been opened. Join the discussion.
• Future availability by vehicle (#726): This new optional endpoint allows systems with reservations to share when bikes, scooters, or cars will be available. The feature is at the Release Candidate stage and needs First Adopters to make it official.

We have refreshed gbfs.org to help you find the documentation you need more easily and quickly.
