TransitFeed

Introduction

transitfeed.py is a Python module for reading, validating, and writing transit schedule information in the GTFS format. Python programmers are encouraged to make use of this functionality when building programs that work with transit data.

Sample Usage

A small sample program for creating an (incomplete) feed is shown below. The examples directory contains more sample scripts.

import transitfeed


schedule = transitfeed.Schedule()
schedule.AddAgency("Fly Agency", "http://iflyagency.com",
                   "America/Los_Angeles")

service_period = schedule.GetDefaultServicePeriod()
service_period.SetStartDate("20070101")
service_period.SetEndDate("20080101")
service_period.SetWeekdayService(True)
service_period.SetDateHasService('20070704', False)

stop1 = schedule.AddStop(lng=-122, lat=37.2, name="Suburbia")
stop2 = schedule.AddStop(lng=-122.001, lat=37.201, name="Civic Center")

route = schedule.AddRoute(short_name="22", long_name="Civic Center Express",
                          route_type="Bus")

trip = route.AddTrip(schedule, headsign="To Downtown")
trip.AddStopTime(stop1, stop_time='09:00:00')
trip.AddStopTime(stop2, stop_time='09:15:00')

trip = route.AddTrip(schedule, headsign="To Suburbia")
trip.AddStopTime(stop1, stop_time='17:30:00')
trip.AddStopTime(stop2, stop_time='17:45:00')

schedule.Validate()
schedule.WriteGoogleTransitFeed('google_transit.zip')
