Friendly Public Transport Format (FPTF)
This repo outlines a format for APIs, libraries and datasets containing and working with public transport data. See the spec and the list of JS modules.
It tries to keep things simple:
- JSON and ndjson only
- a flat, intuitive representation of public transport timetables & infrastructure
- conceptually inspired by the de-facto standard GTFS
Specifically, it trades
- efficiency for consumability: GTFS sets feel like database dumps.
- completeness for ease-of-use: Only basic attributes are required, most is optional.
Things still missing:
- concise definitions
- clear naming & recommendations for optional data
