GTFS·X

GTFS·X is a browser-based editor and transit service planning tool designed for transit agencies to build, validate, and publish GTFS and GTFS-Flex feeds. The platform enables users to create and modify routes, stops, trips, and schedules directly on an interactive map, with support for adding demand-response zones and booking rules in accordance with the GTFS-Flex specification. Real-time validation against the GTFS standard is integrated into the editing process, helping agencies ensure their feeds are spec-compliant before publishing.

The tool offers a free tier, allowing anyone to edit, validate, and export GTFS and GTFS-Flex feeds without creating an account or installing software. zip files or GeoJSON at any time. For agencies requiring advanced planning and publishing capabilities, GTFS·X provides a subscription-based Planner suite. This includes features such as hosted, auto-updating feed URLs, a rider-facing mini-site, embeddable widgets, and one-click submission to the Mobility Database for integration with trip planners like Google Maps and Transit.

Service planning tools built into the Planner subscription allow agencies to analyze operating costs, demographic coverage, Title VI equity, stop spacing, and run blocking directly from their GTFS data. Scenario comparison and team workspaces support collaborative planning, and analyses are documented for use in grant narratives or board memos. The Planner suite is available for $299 per month or $2,988 per year, with a 14-day free trial. An Enterprise plan is also offered for consultants and state departments of transportation, enabling multi-agency management and higher service limits.
