GTFS-realtime documentation

The General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) is an open data format that enables public transit agencies to publish their operational information in a standardized way. This allows developers to create a wide range of software applications, from trip planners to real-time arrival displays, that can consume and utilize transit data consistently. It has become the foundational data standard for public transportation information worldwide. ## Key Features - **GTFS Schedule** — Defines static transit information like routes, stops, schedules, and fares. - **GTFS Realtime** — Provides real-time updates on vehicle positions, trip delays, and service alerts. - **Open Standard** — Freely available and developed through a community-driven process. - **Interoperability** — Enables diverse software applications to work with data from thousands of transit providers. ## Philosophy GTFS is developed and maintained through open community collaboration, ensuring it remains a vendor-neutral, interoperable standard that serves the needs of transit agencies, developers, and riders globally.
