# tidytransit
Use tidytransit to map transit stops and routes, calculate travel times and transit
frequencies, and validate transit feeds. Tidytransit reads the
[General Transit Feed Specification](https://gtfs.org/) into
[tidyverse](https://tibble.tidyverse.org/) and
[simple features](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Features) data frames.
Tidytransit can be used to:
- [read GTFS feeds into R](https://r-transit.github.io/tidytransit/reference/read_gtfs.html)
- [calculate travel times between transit stops](https://r-transit.github.io/tidytransit/reference/travel_times.html)
- [convert stops and routes to sf data frames](https://r-transit.github.io/tidytransit/reference/gtfs_as_sf.html)
- [validate transit feeds and more](https://r-transit.github.io/tidytransit/reference/index.html)
Have a look at the following vignettes to see how tidytransit can be used to analyse a feed:
- [introduction](https://r-transit.github.io/tidytransit/articles/introduction.html)
- [calendar and service patterns](https://r-transit.github.io/tidytransit/articles/servicepatterns.html)
- [create time tables for stops](https://r-transit.github.io/tidytransit/articles/timetable.html)
- [frequency and headway calculations](https://r-transit.github.io/tidytransit/articles/frequency.html)
## Installation
This package requires a working installation of [sf](https://github.com/r-spatial/sf#installing).
Install tidytransit from CRAN:
``` r
install.packages('tidytransit')
```
For the development version from Github:
```r
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("r-transit/tidytransit")
```
## GTFS-related packages
- [`gtfsio`](https://github.com/r-transit/gtfsio) R package to read and write gtfs feeds, tidytransit uses gtfsio for reading/writing feeds
- [`gtfstools`](https://github.com/ipeaGIT/gtfstools) Tools for editing and analysing transit feeds
- [`gtfsrouter`](https://github.com/UrbanAnalyst/gtfsrouter) Package for public transport routing
- [`gtfs2gps`](https://github.com/ipeaGIT/gtfs2gps) Converting public transport data from GTFS format to GPS-like records
- [`GTFSwizard`](https://github.com/nelsonquesado/GTFSwizard) Set of tools for exploring and manipulating, builds on tidytransit
