The General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) is an open standard defining data formats for public transit information, comprising GTFS Schedule (static text files in a ZIP) and GTFS Realtime (Protocol Buffers feeds). This repository hosts the specification documentation and community governance for the standard used by thousands of transit agencies worldwide.
Use cases
- publish public transit schedules in a standard format
- build a trip planner that consumes transit data
- serve real-time bus and train arrival updates
- understand the GTFS Schedule file reference
- implement a GTFS Realtime protobuf feed
- add fares, routes, and stops to a transit app
When to choose
- you are a transit agency publishing rider-facing data
- you are building software that consumes or validates GTFS feeds
- you need the authoritative reference for GTFS Schedule or Realtime formats
When to avoid
- you need a ready-made parser or validator library rather than the specification itself
- you need proprietary or non-transit mapping data formats
- you want executable code - this repo is primarily documentation
