General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS)

General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) is a standardized format that public transportation agencies use to share their schedule and route information. It includes data on bus and train schedules, stop locations, routes, fares, and operating hours. By using GTFS, apps and websites can easily display transit options, plan trips, and update schedules automatically. This standardized format ensures consistency, making it easier for developers and transit agencies to share accurate, up-to-date transit data universally, improving the user experience for travelers seeking public transportation information.
