GTFS to HTML
See gtfstohtml.com for full documentation.
gtfs-to-html
creates human-readable, user-friendly transit timetables in HTML and PDF format directly from GTFS transit data. Most transit agencies have schedule data in GTFS format but need to show each route's schedule to users on a website. This project automates the process of creating nicely formatted HTML timetables for inclusion on a transit agency website. This makes it easy to keep timetables up to date and accurate when schedule changes happen and reduces the likelihood of errors.
Configurable and customizable
gtfs-to-html
has many options that configure how timetables are presented. It also allows using a completely custom template which makes it easy to build chunks of HTML that will fit perfectly into any website using any HTML structure and classes that you'd like. Or, create printable PDF versions of timetables using the outputFormat
config option.
Accessibility for all
gtfs-to-html
properly formats timetables to ensure they are screen-reader accessible and WCAG 2.0 compliant.
Mobile responsiveness built in
Built-in styling makes gtfs-to-html
timetables ready to size and scroll easily on mobile phones and tablets.
Schedule changes? A cinch.
By generating future timetables and including dates in table metadata, your timetables can appear in advance of a schedule change, and you can validate that your new timetables and GTFS are correct.
Auto-generated maps
gtfs-to-html
can also generate a map for each route that can be included with the schedule page. The map shows all stops for the route and lists all routes that serve each stop. See the showMap
configuration option below. If you'd rather just get all stops and route info as geoJSON, check out the gtfs-to-geojson package.
gtfs-to-html
uses the node-gtfs
library to handle importing and querying GTFS data.
GTFS-to-HTML on the web
You can now use gtfs-to-html
without actually downloading any code or doing any configuration. run.gtfstohtml.com provides a web based interface for finding GTFS feeds for agencies, setting configuration and then generates a previewable and downloadable set of timetables.
