====== GTFS ======


A GTFS feed is composed of a series of text files collected in a ZIP file. Each file models a particular aspect of transit information: stops, routes, trips, and other schedule data. The details of each file are defined in the GTFS reference.

GTFS Spezification: https://developers.google.com/transit/gtfs/reference/

  * Routes are equivalent to "Lines" in public transportation systems. Routes are defined in the file routes.txt, and are made up of one or more Trips.
  * A Trip represents a journey taken by a vehicle through Stops. Trips are time-specific — they are defined as a sequence of StopTimes, so a single Trip represents one journey along a transit line or route.
  * A StopTime defines when a vehicle arrives at a location, how long it stays there, and when it departs.

==== OneBusAway (Java/CLI) ====

[[https://github.com/OneBusAway/onebusaway/wiki|OneBusAway]] is a library for transforming and merging GTFS data sets. Amongst others it features two handy CLIs:

=== Example: remove AST ===

no_ast.txt:

<file>
{"op":"remove","match":{"file":"routes.txt","route_short_name":"AST AST"}}
{"op":"remove","match":{"file":"routes.txt","route_short_name":"AST AST Maxi"}}
</file>

<code>
java -jar onebusaway-gtfs-transformer-cli-1.3.X.jar --transform=remove_ast.txt gtfs.zip gtfs_without_ast.zip
</code>

=== Example: only keep two lines from a whole dataset ===

<code>
java -jar onebusaway-gtfs-transformer-cli-1.3.34.jar --transform='{"op":"retain", "match":{"file":"routes.txt", "route_short_name":"31"}}' --transform='{"op":"retain", "match":{"file":"routes.txt", "route_short_name":"33A"}}' gtfs_vienna.zip gtfs_vienna_only31+33A.zip
</code>
