@coreyjrowe @DE_Gifford @TransitGuideDET If this agency begins producing GTFS, we welcome all contributions to our atlas of GTFS feeds.

Corey@coreyjrowe·26 Oca

@DE_Gifford @TransitGuideDET @transitland They're very small and it looks like they don't publish a GTFS. That route map is hand-drawn on My Maps

Working on upgrading the @TransitGuideDET website today. Trying to make it look more like a functional transit website. What do you think? Guides table is still under construction. transitguidedetroit.weebly.com

Any recommendations for a Mastodon server that's about open data, transit, mobility, or open-source software? We're thinking of also posting about @Transitland for folks who are switching to Mastodon.

@sandypsj In case it's useful, here's our coverage from open-data sources for NJ Transit at #9.24/40.5241/-74.4548" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">transit.land/map#9.24/40.52… and transit.land/operators/o-dr…

We are slowly adding coverage of France to Transitland. However, our team has very limited skills at reading French (and none at writing :) We welcome French-speakers to help add more GTFS feeds to github.com/transitland/tr… Thank you/Merci!

🚌🚈L'application @transitland est un bon indicateur pour se rendre compte du degré d'avancement de #standardisation et d'#ouverture des données publiques des transporst en commun en France 😅 cc @transportdatafr ➡ transit.land/map

@HugoLucasBLN @BorisMericskay @transportdatafr Bonjour/Hello. Our main staff have very limited skills at reading French (and no skills at writing French :), so we are very slow to review and add GTFS feeds from France. We would love any assistance adding public GTFS feeds to github.com/transitland/tr…

@BorisMericskay @transitland @transportdatafr Pour le coup, les données GTFS en France sont centralisées et donc plus facile a utiliser que les données allemandes. Je comprends pas trop comment transitland ne parvient pas a avoir plus de données pour la France

Transitland@transitland·3 Eki

Transitland now aggregates from both static GTFS feeds and GTFS Realtime feeds. The "stop departures" API endpoint returns times derived from both static schedules and up-to-the-minute trip updates (* when provided by transit agencies)

English

Transitland@transitland·3 Eki

We've added new documentation covering the Transitland v2 REST API "stop departure" endpoint, which can be used to see when buses/trains/subways/ferries/etc serve a given stop: transit.land/documentation/…

today I learned about transit.land/map: A COMMUNITY-EDITED DATA SERVICE AGGREGATING TRANSIT NETWORKS ACROSS METROPOLITAN AND RURAL AREAS AROUND THE WORLD. via @burritojustice on @RollOverEasy Pictured is some U.S. cities compared at the same scale:

Transitland v2 APIs — available and expanding since 2019 :) transit.land/news/2019/10/1…

Jake@JustJake

You either die a startup or live long enough to have /v2/ in your APIs

The @FTA_DOT is proposing that American transit agencies submit URLs for GTFS feeds in their reports to the US National Transit Database. This is a great idea. We're pleased to share some feedback based on the experience of operating @Transitland: interline.io/blog/us-ntd-re…

@akaDirigibles @codehawkfalcon Metrolink does not supply shapes in in GTFS feed, so Transitland has to draw straight lines between distant stop locations. This can clutter the map, so we hide it by default. Go to the Options tab and toggle both options on:

Perceptive users of the Transitland map may have noticed that BART didn't appear for a couple weeks. Thanks to @SFBART for fixing the shapes.txt records in their GTFS feed, we're now able to display the curve of the Transbay Tube and along with all other BART route alignments:

@SFBART As always, the Transitland global transit map can be browsed at transit.land/map or integrated into your own projects using the Transitland v2 Vector Tile API: transit.land/documentation/…

For example, see the Connections tab on the route detail page for SFMTA's 49 bus: transit.land/routes/r-9q8yy…

Transitland@transitland·26 Ağu

A new feature on the Transitland website: see how one route connects to others. See the Connections tab on each route detail page, or access this information through the Transitland v2 GraphQL API.

Using @transitland to compare service provided in the four main cities I've lived in. Baltimore, Atlanta, Indianapolis and New York City. Transitland is an open data platform that collects GTFS, GTFS Realtime, and other open data feeds from transit providers around the world.

@Indy_Austin @nickhasthoughts @jahorne GTFS is a "bottom up" format intentionally designed to be simple and North America-centric; and as the continued evolution of the spec shows, GTFS has limitations modeling particularly complex systems like in Japan. "Why" is a bit too big a topic for 280 characters.

@WillFedder @WatsonLadd @larry_htx @codehawkfalcon @TransitCon Our map includes nearly all agencies that publish GTFS transit data in the United States; Europe is a more complex situation because other transit data formats are more common there.

@WatsonLadd @larry_htx @codehawkfalcon @transitland @TransitCon Ah, if you meant revealing as in "revealing of incompetence" - I would agree
