Frequently Asked Questions
What is GTFS data?
GTFS, the General Transit Feed Specification, is the open format transit agencies use to publish schedules, stops and route shapes. Trip planners, routing engines and analytics tools read it directly.
What is the difference between enhanced and source data?
The source feed is the original input used for this unique BusMaps dataset. The enhanced feed is the corrected and validated build. For this feed, neither source nor enhanced files are available through the API; submit the data request form for manual access. Request access through the form →
Can I use this data in my application?
Source-data use depends on the licence set by the publisher; check it before integration. Enhanced and custom data is supplied under terms agreed for your coverage, delivery, and intended use.
How do I validate a GTFS feed?
Every feed here ships with a validation report of errors and warnings. For an independent check, run the MobilityData GTFS Validator. The enhanced feed has the critical issues resolved.
