We always store the most current GTFS data set in this resource. This is updated approximately weekly. Data sets in GTFS format include information on lines, stops, routes, timetable data, etc. and are integrated into map services such as Google Maps, among other things. GTFS stands for General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) and originally comes from Google. Initially, this format for displaying timetable data was also known as the “Google Transit Feed Specification”. GTFS has now become the de facto standard and “Google” has become a “general”. But this is just a background delicacy... Data sets in GTFS format include information on lines, stops, routes, timetable data, etc. and are integrated into map services such as Google Maps, among other things. Other providers of information and map services such as Bing, Apple maps, moovit, moovel, citymapper, etc. also use this format. Our GTFS data packages provide you with all the important timetable data for our rnv lines. You can find detailed documentation on how the GTFS data sets are structured directly on Google: "GTFS Specification" We store them automatically in our rnv-GTFS resource always the most current data set. Accordingly, you can always reach it directly via the constant URL: https://gtfs-sandbox-dds.rnv-online.de/latest/gtfs.zip... What else you should know about our GTFS packages: Not all routes have trips all year round. Certain lines only run during certain periods. That's why there are many routes that temporarily do not contain any trips. Don't let this confuse you, this is correct. As route_type we use the so-called "⇒Extended GTFS Route Types". The "empty" routes have the default value 3. The characteristic 704 stands for bus lines (Regional Bus Service) and the 900 stands for train (Tram Service). In addition, the note that the historical ones also GTFS records can be retrieved. All you have to do is replace the Unix timestamp (time of creation of the data package) in the following link: https://gtfs-sandbox-dds.rnv-online.de/1593002327496/gtfs.zip You can find an overview of all timestamps at : https://gtfs-sandbox-dds.rnv-online.de/
