tidytransit
Use tidytransit to map transit stops and routes, calculate travel times and transit frequencies, and validate transit feeds. tidytransit reads the General Transit Feed Specification into tidyverse and simple features data frames. Tidytransit can be used to:
- read GTFS feeds into R
- estimate transit frequencies
- calculate travel times between transit stops
- convert stops and routes to sf data frames
- map existing stops and routes
- validate transit feeds and more
Have a look at the following vignettes to see how tidytransit can be used to analyse a feed:
- the tutorial
- introduction to service patterns
- introduction to time tables
- introduction to frequency calculation
Installation
This package requires a working installation of sf.
Install tidytransit from CRAN:
install.packages('tidytransit')For the development version from Github:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("r-transit/tidytransit")For some users, sf is impractical to install due to system level
dependencies. For these users,
trread may work better. It has
more limited functionality, but it can read GTFS tables into R.
Background
tidytransit is a fork of gtfsr.
