A: and SGTFS-Data-Exchange will switch to a minimal index of agencies.ApFeed registry and file uploads disabled.Timeline for shutting down GTFS Data Exchange: also has a comprehensive list of GTFS feeds, and is built on a much more open and transparent community contribution process via Github. Most importantly though, Transitland has a corporate sponsor Mapzen, so developers can rely on it whereas gtfs-data-exchange has always been a side project, intermittently available and sometimes neglected. It is also built to expose schedule data from a single consistent database which makes it even easier for developers to access schedule information. has steadily been growing as a reference spot for worldwide GTFS data, and the spot for transit agencies to connect with developers. Closing gtfs-data-exchange will pave the way for the next chapter of open transit data. I'm proud of all the transit community has accomplished, and excited about what's next. That these sorts of organizations have a default expectation of open schedule data was unthinkable in 2008. The World Bank has also heavily advocated and assisted international adoption of GTFS. Recently the Secretary of the US DOT wrote a letter advocating broad GTFS contribution and a national registry of GTFS, coming one step shy of requiring it from all agencies. ![]() ![]() Since then, much has changed as there are over a thousand agencies from almost every country around the world publishing GTFS data. I started GTFS Data Exchange in 2008 to encourage adoption of the GTFS specification when barely a dozen transit agencies were sharing schedule data. ![]()
