osm2gtfs
Converts OpenStreetMap public transport data and schedule information into GTFS feeds for transit applications.
What is osm2gtfs?
osm2gtfs is a Python tool that converts public transport data from OpenStreetMap and external schedule information into General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) files. It solves the problem of generating standardized transit feeds from open data sources, enabling integration with mapping and trip planning applications. The tool retrieves network data via the Overpass API, combines it with schedule data, and outputs GTFS using the transitfeed library.
Transit agencies, city planners, open data advocates, and developers working on public transport applications who need to create or maintain GTFS feeds from open data sources.
Developers choose osm2gtfs because it provides a free, open-source solution for generating GTFS feeds from OpenStreetMap, avoiding proprietary data sources. Its extensible configuration allows adaptation to various cities and schedule formats, promoting transparency and community-driven transit data improvement.
