General Transit Feed Specification

The General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) is a standardized format for sharing public transportation data, like bus and train schedules, routes, and stops. It allows transit agencies to provide detailed information about their services in a consistent way, which digital apps and websites can use to display accurate schedules and route maps. This helps travelers plan trips more easily across different transit providers and cities. Essentially, GTFS acts as a common language that makes transportation data more accessible and usable across various digital platforms.
