The
calendar_dates.txt
table can explicitly activate or disable service by date. It can be used in two ways.
- Recommended: Use
calendar_dates.txt
in conjunction withcalendar.txt
to define exceptions to the default service patterns defined incalendar.txt
. If service is generally regular, with a few changes on explicit dates (for instance, to accommodate special event services, or a school schedule), this is a good approach. In thiscase calendar_dates.service_id
is an ID referencingcalendar.service_id
.- Alternate: Omit
calendar.txt
, and specify each date of service incalendar_dates.txt
. This allows for considerable service variation and accommodates service without normal weekly schedules. In this caseservice_id
is an ID.
