GTFS Plus

Entity types for GTFS+, the extension set used by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Bay Area agencies that report to it. GTFS+ adds files the base specification does not define, covering direction names, timing points, rider categories and the identifier tables that tie realtime feeds to the static schedule.

If your feed contains files like directions.txt or rider_categories.txt and your importer is skipping them, this is the module that gives them somewhere to go.

Files covered

• directions — human-readable direction names per route
• timepoints — which stops are published timing points
• stop_attributes and farezone_attributes
• calendar_attributes — service descriptions for calendars
• rider_categories and fare_rider_categories, joined to fare attributes
• realtime_routes, realtime_stops and realtime_trips — the mapping tables that let a realtime feed line up with the static schedule when the two use different identifiers

Requirements

GTFS Core 3.x, with its GTFS Fares submodule enabled.

Installation

composer require drupal/gtfs_plus, then enable it and re-import your feed. The new entities appear alongside the standard GTFS entities under Administration › GTFS.
