GTFS Kit is a Python library for analyzing General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data in memory without a database. It uses Pandas and GeoPandas to do the heavy lifting.
Install it from PyPI with UV, say, via uv add gtfs_kit.
In the Jupyter notebook notebooks/examples.ipynb.

The documentation is built via Sphinx from the source code in the docs directory then published to Github Pages at mrcagney.github.io/gtfs_kit_docs.
- This project's development status is Alpha. I use GTFS Kit for work and change it breakingly to suit my needs.
- This project uses semantic versioning.
- I aim for GTFS Kit to handle the current GTFS. In particular, i avoid handling GTFS extensions. That is the most reasonable scope boundary i can draw at present, given this project's tiny budget. If you would like to fund me to expand that scope, feel free to email me.
- Thanks to MRCagney for periodically donating to this project.
- Constructive feedback and contributions are welcome.
Please issue pull requests from a feature branch into the
developbranch and include tests. - GTFS time is measured relative noon minus 12 hours, which can mess things up when crossing into daylight savings time. I don't think this issue causes any bugs in GTFS Kit, but you and i have been warned. Thanks to user derhuerst for bringing this to my attention in closed Issue 8.
- I'll probably remove the GTFS validation module
validators.pyto avoid duplicating the work of what is now the canonical feed validator (written in Java).
