GTFS (General Transit Feed Specification)

GTFS, or General Transit Feed Specification, is a standardized format used by public transportation agencies to share their transit data. This includes information about bus and train routes, schedules, stops, and fares. By providing this data in a consistent way, GTFS enables developers to create apps and tools that help passengers plan their journeys easily. For instance, when you use a transit app to find the best route or the next bus arrival time, it's often utilizing data provided through GTFS, ensuring reliable and accurate public transportation information.
