2. Setup a new route

Jump to bottom

After the extraction into the sqlite db you can setup your routes. GTFS2 uses routes to collect start/end stations from the source, this removes the need to find their id manually However, all depends on the GTFS data providers where some try to be complete and concise, others may provide only abreviations

IMPORTANT>>>>

Even though you select a route based on a specific bus/tram/metro-line, GTFS2 will only use the start- and end- stations. This will allow to identify other means of public transport that serve the same start- and end-stations.

<<<<IMPORTANT

Information: with the setup of the first route for fresh GTFS dataset, the app. will add indexes to the DB and this may take time too. Next routes will be faster

Note: whilst the data is being extracted, the source will become visible for selection but it will not allow you to continue. This to prevent disrupting multiple processes on the same DB

The next screen allows to select different ways to setup your routes.

  • All except trains: the next screen will allow you to select stops from the data as provided by your transport co.
  • Trains: the next screen allows to manually enter a departure and arrival city.

Why this option? Train stations often show multiple stops, so one has to setup each start/end stop correctly which is a tedious and error-prone activity as stops may not match. By allowing to select 'city' as a start and end, all stops will be queried in one go, see Trains

In this case the aim is to setup a bus-route

Depending (yes, again...depending) on the gtfs provider, outbound/return may not be in line with the title of the route, you may need to try them out both. Select the start and endpoints of your interest

IMPORTANT Even though you select a route based on a specific bus/tram/metro-line, GTFS2 will only use the start- and end- stations. This will allow to identify other means of public transport that serve the same start- and end-stations.

You can tickbox 'include tomorrow' if you want the entity to include also tomorrow's schedule

Repeating information: with the setup of the first route for fresh GTFS dataset, the app. will add indexes to the DB and this may take time too. Next routes will be faster

You can add a area (optional)

In Developer Tools > States you can see the new entity
