Transportation data is often large and finely grained. The NYC Taxi Trip Data since 2009 and the Uber trips from 2014 are standard datasets for urban mobility, and bike share trips come from Hubway, Montreal's BIXI and the wider Bike Share Systems collection. Aviation data includes the RITA on-time performance records, U.S. domestic flights 1990 to 2009, OpenFlights airports and routes, FAA wildlife strikes and daily ADS-B aircraft state exports.

Safety and road data covers NHTSA fatality records since 1975, vehicle complaints and recalls, crash archives and real-time 511 traffic feeds, while Transport for London, Deutsche Bahn and Renfe cover public transport and rail. Trip-level files can run to many gigabytes per year, and recent NYC taxi data is published as Parquet. Schemas often change between years, so check column definitions per period. Location data from GPS traces such as GeoLife can identify people, so aggregate before publishing results.

Free daily worldwide ADS-B aircraft state-diff exports from a community receiver network. Monthly GitHub releases contain one zstd-compressed Parquet file per UTC day, with row counts, SHA-256 checksums, schema documentation and no account requirement.
