About Open Data
Open data refers to information that can be freely used, reused, and shared by anyone, without technical, financial, or legal restrictions, unless the nature of the data requires confidentiality or protection of privacy. In line with its commitment to transparency, the Transport General Authority (TGA) supports open data initiatives to promote inclusive development, foster innovation, support scientific research, and enhance informed decision making. To facilitate access, TGA has activated e-participation channels where beneficiaries can submit open data requests through the Open Data Request service.
