By sharing our GTFS data, we aim to improve accessibility to our service information. This allows developers, transit applications, and planners to integrate our schedules and routes into their platforms, promoting wider visibility and easier trip planning for our valued customers.

GTFS is a standard data format that allows transportation providers to publish their transit data consistently. A GTFS feed is a collection of text files (.txt) bundled in a ZIP archive. Each file describes a particular aspect of transit information: stops, routes, trips, schedules, and fare information.

Developer Implementation Guidelines

Here are some guidelines for using Blue Sky Limo’s GTFS data effectively:

  • Data Format: All files are provided in Comma Separated Value (CSV) format. The first line of each file contains column headers.
  • Parsing: Standard CSV parsers available in most programming languages can be used to read the data.
  • Character Encoding: Ensure your parser handles UTF-8 character encoding.
  • Timezones and Times: All times are expressed in the America/Denver timezone. Some time values may exceed 24:00:00 to represent services that run past midnight.
  • Service Availability: Use calendar.txt to determine which days each service_id is active.
  • Data Validity: Always check feed_info.txt for the feed_start_date, feed_end_date, and feed_version to ensure your application is using current data.
  • Relational Structure: Understand the relationships between files to interpret the data correctly. For example, trips.txt links routes.txt and stop_times.txt together.
  • Respect License: Adhere to the CC BY 4.0 license terms, including proper attribution to Blue Sky Limo LLC.
  • Rate Limiting: When accessing the GTFS .zip file programmatically, please use reasonable download intervals to avoid server overload.
