Use public transport data from OpenStreetMap and external schedule information to create a General Transit Feed (GTFS).

The official source code repository is at github.com/grote/osm2gtfs.

The script retrieves current data about public transport networks directly from OpenStreetMap via the Overpass API. It stores the data in python objects and caches on disk for efficient re-use. Then the data is combined with another source of schedule (time) information in order to create a GTFS file using the transitfeed library.

Attention: The source code is currently very specific to Florianópolis Buses and Costa Rica Urban Train, but it can be extended to make it work for your use case. In the config file any transit network can be specified for download from OpenStreetMap. And by extending the creator classes in code, different approaches for time information handling can be easily implemented. You can help with pull requests to improve this script.

python osm2gtfs.py -c <config-file>

Example:

$ python osm2gtfs.py -c creators/fenix/fenix.json

Install dependencies by running

pip install -r requirements.txt
