Link repository for international GTFS training materials
Welcome to the GTFS-Training-Materials wiki!
This is a staging ground for building a repository of links to unofficial, multi-lingual GTFS training materials that are free for anyone to use. Feedback, contributions, and edits to this wiki are welcome!
NEW FREE ON-LINE GTFS COURSE!
The World Bank is offering a free on-line course on GTFS. The course objective is to empower participants to create, manage, and use GTFS feeds, particularly in cities that do not already have complete electronic systems for storing and managing their transit system data. The course methodologies are based upon the World Bank and others’ successful experiences in creating GTFS feeds in resource-constrained environments and reflect the latest work and knowledge in open data and open-source software.
