R package for working with GTFS data

tidytransit

Use tidytransit to map transit stops and routes, calculate travel times and transit frequencies, and validate transit feeds. Tidytransit reads the General Transit Feed Specification into tidyverse and simple features data frames. Tidytransit can be used to:

• read GTFS feeds into R
• calculate travel times between transit stops
• convert stops and routes to sf data frames
• validate transit feeds and more

Have a look at the following vignettes to see how tidytransit can be used to analyse a feed:

• introduction
• calendar and service patterns
• create time tables for stops
• frequency and headway calculations
