What is NeTEx? ℹ️

NeTEx

NeTEx: Bridging the Gap in Transport Data

In addition of being a data format, NeTEx is also the bridge that connects developers and the world of public transportation. Developed under the guidance of CEN (Comité Européen de Normalisation), NeTEx simplifies and harmonizes the exchange of passenger information across Europe.

NeTEx in a Nutshell

🌐 Common Language: NeTEx serves as a common language, making it easier to exchange public transportation information among different computer systems.

🚌 Seamless Sharing: It acts as a bridge, enabling the smooth sharing of vehicle stop details, routes, timetables, fares, and operational data.

🤝 Promoting Interoperability: NeTEx simplifies communication and data sharing in the realm of public transportation, promoting interoperability and enhancing the accessibility of essential information.

The Developer's Role

As a developer, you play a vital role in the NeTEx environment. You create, managed, and/or consume files that are using NeTEx format within the transportation industry. In this way, you contribute to better interoperability and seamless travel for all, thanks to a wide range of operational and passenger information applications. This GitHub is designed to enable you to use and understand NeTEx, but also to share your feedback and/or get involved in the changes.
