    Azure Maps has a V2 routing service in preview that is nearly identical to the Bing Maps routing service (input/output formats updated to better align with open data standards): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/maps/route/post-directions?view=rest-maps-2023-10-01-preview&tabs=HTTP Using the pedestrian travel mode will make use of public transit such as trains and trams.

    Hi Robert,

    As far as I know, Big Maps is the only one the has functionality to calculate a route by transit:

    Bing Maps Routes API

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/rest-services/routes/

    I do not believe Azure Maps has the capability to do so:

    Azure Maps Mobility Services Preview will be retired on 5 October 2021

    If this is helpful please accept answer.
