gtfsutils

GTFS command-line tool and Python GTFS utility library

Installation

To install the package from PyPi:

pip install gtfsutils

To install the development version from GitHub:

git clone git@github.com:triply-at/gtfsutils.git
cd gtfsutils
pip install -e .  # Install in editable mode

Usage

Python package

The usage of the Python package is illustrated in quickstart.ipynb.

Command-line tool

The package can be also used as a command-line tool. There are three sub-tools available.

Filter

The filter tool applies a spatial filter to a GTFS file. You can either filter based on stop locations or on trip shapes. The filter can be specified either as a bounding box (xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax) or as a file path (e.g. to a GeoJSON or GPKG file).

Here is how to spatially filter a GTFS file based on stop locations, using a bounding box:

gtfsutils filter -t stops data/vienna.gtfs.zip data/vienna-filtered.gtfs.zip "[16.197, 47.999, 16.549, 48.301]"

Here is how to spatially filter a GTFS file based on trip shapes, using a GeoJSON file:

gtfsutils filter -t shapes data/vienna.gtfs.zip data/vienna-filtered.gtfs.zip data/area.geojson

For more information, type:

gtfsutils filter --help

usage: gtfsutils filter [-h] [-t TARGET] [-o OPERATION] [--overwrite] [-v] src dst bounds

positional arguments:
  src                   Input GTFS filepath
  dst                   Output GTFS filepath
  bounds                Filter boundary

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -t TARGET, --target TARGET
                        Filter target (stops, shapes)
  -o OPERATION, --operation OPERATION
                        Filter operation (within, intersects)
  --overwrite           Overwrite if exists
  -v, --verbose         Verbose output

Bounds

The bounds tool computes the bounding box (based on stop locations) of a GTFS file:

gtfsutils bounds data/vienna.gtfs.zip

[16.1977025532707, 47.9995020902886, 16.5494019702052, 48.3011051975429]

For more information, type:

gtfsutils bounds --help

usage: gtfsutils bounds [-h] src

positional arguments:
  src         Input GTFS filepath

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Info

The info tool print general information about a GTFS file:

gtfsutils info data/vienna.gtfs.zip

GTFS files:
  agency.txt                      2 rows
  calendar.txt                  186 rows
  calendar_dates.txt          9,575 rows
  routes.txt                    441 rows
  shapes.txt                401,371 rows
  stop_times.txt          3,733,781 rows
  stops.txt                   4,510 rows
  trips.txt                 201,042 rows

Calender date range:
  11.12.2022 - 09.12.2023

Bounding box:
  [16.1977025532707, 47.9995020902886, 16.5494019702052, 48.3011051975429]

For more information, type:

gtfsutils info --help

usage: gtfsutils info [-h] src

positional arguments:
  src         Input GTFS filepath

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Testing

Prepare dev environment with:
