Data source
Metro, rail and bus timetables (GTFS)
Published timetable and frequency data for metro, suburban rail and bus legs, per city, where operators publish it under a licence we can use.
What it is used for
- Scheduled departures and frequencies at your hours
- Waiting time: half the published headway unless a timetable gives exact departures
- Interchange planning
What is stored, and for how long
Feeds are refreshed on the operator's schedule; the feed date is printed on each report.
How it is credited
Each operator's feed is credited on reports as its licence requires.
Known limits
- Coverage and licence vary by city
- Timetables do not show crowding or skipped trains
- Where no usable feed exists, transit legs use field measured headways or are marked unavailable
Questions
What if my city has no feed?
We use field measured headways where we have them, or mark the transit leg as unavailable and say so on the report.
