Real Time GTFS
GTFS-real-time provides live alert, vehicle location, and arrival-prediction data in an industry-standard format. GTFS-real-time is best for retrieving data for the whole system at once in a relatively small package, but must be extrapolated using the agency’s static GTFS data to be meaningful.
See Google’s GTFS-real-time documentation for more information on the GTFS-real-time format.
Static GTFS Files are here:
