GTFStijdtabellen

GTFStijdtabellen refers to public transportation schedules formatted according to the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS). GTFS is a standard format used by public transit agencies worldwide to publish their transit data. This data includes information about routes, stops, schedules, and fares.

GTFStijdtabellen specifically focus on the schedule aspect of GTFS. They contain detailed information about when trains, buses, trams, and other forms of public transport are expected to arrive at and depart from each stop. This data is typically provided in CSV (Comma Separated Values) files, making it easily parseable by software.

The primary purpose of GTFStijdtabellen is to enable the creation of applications and services that help passengers plan their journeys. This includes popular transit apps, mapping services, and real-time information displays at stations. By standardizing schedule data, GTFS allows for interoperability, meaning that a single application can display information for multiple transit agencies that provide their data in this format.

Many transit agencies make their GTFStijdtabellen publicly available through their websites or dedicated data portals. This open data approach fosters innovation and improves the passenger experience by making transit information more accessible and user-friendly. The accuracy and completeness of GTFStijdtabellen are crucial for the reliability of these passenger-facing applications.
