GTFS-to-HTML

The challenge

Transit agencies already maintain structured schedules in GTFS. Recreating those schedules by hand for a website creates extra work every time service changes.

Our work

We built GTFS-to-HTML to generate rider-facing timetables and interactive route maps directly from agency GTFS data. With GTFS-Realtime feeds configured, maps show vehicle locations and arrival predictions, and route timetables automatically display active service alerts.

Screen-reader-accessible timetables

GTFS-to-HTML generates timetables with semantic table structure for screen readers. Its standard output is designed for WCAG 2.0 compliance, supporting ADA-accessible transit websites.

Finding errors in source schedules

Publishing directly from GTFS makes schedule changes easier to manage and exposes gaps or inconsistencies in the source feed. When an agency spots a problem in a generated timetable and fixes its GTFS, the correction also benefits the other services using that data.
