Import GTFS Static/Schedule datasets into a PostgreSQL database, to allow for efficient querying and analysis.

• ✅ handles daylight saving time correctly but retains reasonable lookup performance
• ✅ supports frequencies.txt
• ✨ joins stop_times.txt/frequencies.txt, calendar.txt/calendar_dates.txt, trips.txt, route.txt & stops.txt into views for straightforward data analysis (see below)
• 🚀 is carefully optimised to let PostgreSQL's query planner do its magic, yielding quick lookups even with large datasets (see performance section)
• ✅ validates and imports translations.txt
• ✨ exposes (almost) all data via GraphQL using PostGraphile, and as a RESTful API using PostgREST

To work with the time-related data (stop_times etc.), gtfs-via-postgres supports two "mental models":

• the time-unexpanded data that is almost directly taken from the GTFS Schedule data – This is useful if you want to do network analysis.
• the time-expanded view that "applies" every trip's stop_times rows to all of its service days – This is useful for routing & queries from the traveller's perspective.

npm install -g gtfs-via-postgres

Or use npx. ✨

There are also prebuilt binaries and Docker images available.

Note: gtfs-via-postgres needs PostgreSQL >=14 to work, as it uses the WITH … AS NOT MATERIALIZED syntax. You can check your PostgreSQL server's version with psql -t -c 'SELECT version()'.

If you have a .zip GTFS feed, unzip it into individual files.

We're going to use the 2022-07-01 VBB feed as an example, which consists of individual files already.

wget --compression auto \
    -r --no-parent --no-directories -R .csv.gz \
    -P gtfs -N 'https://vbb-gtfs.jannisr.de/2022-07-01/'
# …
# Downloaded 14 files in 20s.
ls -lh gtfs
# 3.3K agency.csv
#  97K calendar.csv
# 1.1M calendar_dates.csv
# 2.5K datapackage.json
#  64B frequencies.csv
# 5.9K levels.csv
# 246B license
# 8.3M pathways.csv
#  49K routes.csv
# 146M shapes.csv
# 368M stop_times.csv
# 5.0M stops.csv
# 4.7M transfers.csv
#  16M trips.csv

Depending on your specific setup, configure access to the PostgreSQL database via PG* environment variables:

export PGUSER=postgres
export PGPASSWORD=password
env PGDATABASE=postgres psql -c 'create database vbb_2022_02_25'
export PGDATABASE=vbb_2022_02_25

Note: gtfs-via-postgres generates SQL that contains the CREATE EXTENSION postgis instruction. For this to work, the PostgreSQL user you're connecting as needs the CREATE permission on the database. Also, the postgis extension must either be marked as trusted (by putting trusted = true into $(pg_config --sharedir)/extension/postgis.control), or your user must be a superuser.

Install gtfs-via-postgres and use it to import the GTFS data:

npm install -D gtfs-via-postgres
npm exec -- gtfs-to-sql --require-dependencies -- gtfs/*.csv | sponge | psql -b
# agency
# calendar
# CREATE EXTENSION
# BEGIN
# CREATE TABLE
# COPY 37
# …
# CREATE INDEX
# CREATE VIEW
# COMMIT

Importing will take 10s to 10m, depending on the size of the feed. On an M1 MacBook Air, importing the above feed takes about 4m; Importing the 260kb 2021-10-06 Amtrak feed takes 6s.

In addition to a table for each GTFS file, gtfs-via-postgres adds these views to help with real-world analysis:

• service_days (materialized) "applies" calendar_dates to calendar to give you all days of operation for each "service" defined in calendar.
• arrivals_departures "applies" stop_times/frequencies to trips and service_days to give you all arrivals/departures at each stop with their absolute dates & times. It also resolves each stop's parent station ID & name.
• connections "applies" stop_times/frequencies to trips and service_days, just like arrivals_departures, but gives you departure (at stop A) & arrival (at stop B) pairs.
• shapes_aggregated aggregates individual shape points in shapes into a PostGIS LineString.
• stats_by_route_date provides the number of arrivals/departures by route ID and date. – read more
• stats_by_agency_route_stop_hour provides the number of arrivals/departures by agency ID, route ID, stop ID & hour. – read more
• In contrast to stats_by_route_date & stats_by_agency_route_stop_hour, stats_active_trips_by_hour provides the number of currently running trips for each hour in the feeds period of time.

As an example, we're going to use the arrivals_departures view to query all absolute departures at de:11000:900120003 (S Ostkreuz Bhf (Berlin)) between 2022-03-23T12:30+01 and 2022-03-23T12:35+01:

SELECT *
FROM arrivals_departures
WHERE station_id = 'de:11000:900120003'
AND t_departure >= '2022-03-23T12:30+01' AND t_departure <= '2022-03-23T12:35+01'

There are some …_translated views (e.g. stops_translated, arrivals_departures_translated) that

• join their respective source table with translations, so that each (translatable) field is translated in every provided language,
• add a …_lang column for each translated column (e.g. stop_name_lang for stop_name) that indicates the language of the translation.

Assuming a dataset with translations.csv, let's query all stops with a de-CE translation, falling back to the untranslated values:

SELECT
    stop_id,
    stop_name, stop_name_lang,
    stop_url,
FROM stops_translated
WHERE (stop_name_lang = 'de-CH' OR stop_name_lang IS NULL)
AND (stop_url_lang = 'de-CH' OR stop_url_lang IS NULL)

                                    gets created, to ensure that multiple imports into the
                                    same database are all made using the same version. See

                                    - gtfs_via_postgres_options (jsonb)

Some notable limitations mentioned in the PostgreSQL 14 documentation on date/time types:

For timestamp with time zone, the internally stored value is always in UTC (Universal Coordinated Time, traditionally known as Greenwich Mean Time, GMT). An input value that has an explicit time zone specified is converted to UTC using the appropriate offset for that time zone.

When a timestamp with time zone value is output, it is always converted from UTC to the current timezone zone, and displayed as local time in that zone. To see the time in another time zone, either change timezone or use the AT TIME ZONE construct […].

You can run queries with date+time values in any timezone (offset) and they will be processed correctly, but the output will always be in the database timezone (offset), unless you have explicitly used AT TIME ZONE.

Note: Just like the npm-installed variant, the Docker integration too assumes that your GTFS dataset consists of individual files (i.e. unzipped).

Instead of installing via npm, you can use the ghcr.io/public-transport/gtfs-via-postgres Docker image:

# variant A: use Docker image just to convert GTFS to SQL
docker run --rm --volume /path/to/gtfs:/gtfs \
	ghcr.io/public-transport/gtfs-via-postgres --require-dependencies -- '/gtfs/*.csv' \
    | sponge | psql -b

Note: Remember to pass the /gtfs/*.csv glob as a string (with '), so that it gets evaluated inside the Docker container.

With the code above, the psql -b process will run outside of the Docker container, so your host machine needs access to PostgreSQL.

If you want to directly import the GTFS data from within the Docker container, you need add psql to the image and run it from inside. To do that, write a new Dockerfile that extends the ghcr.io/public-transport/gtfs-via-postgres image:

FROM ghcr.io/public-transport/gtfs-via-postgres
ENV PGPORT=5432 PGUSER=postgres
WORKDIR /gtfs
# pass all arguments into gtfs-via-postgres, pipe output into psql:
ENTRYPOINT ["/bin/sh", "-c", "gtfs-via-postgres $0 $@ | sponge | psql -b"]

# start PostgreSQL DB in another container "db"
docker run --name db -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password postgis/postgis

# variant B: use Docker image to convert GTFS to SQL and import it directly
docker build -t import-gtfs . # build helper Docker image from Dockerfile
docker run --rm --volume /path/to/gtfs:/gtfs \
	--link db -e PGHOST=db -e PGPASSWORD=password \
	import-gtfs --require-dependencies -- '/gtfs/*.csv'

postgis-gtfs-importer imports GTFS Schedule data into a PostGIS database using gtfs-via-postgres. It allows running a production service (e.g. an API) on top of programmatically re-imported data from a periodically changing GTFS feed without downtime.

Because it works as atomically as possible with PostgreSQL, it makes the import pipeline robust, even if an import fails or if simultaneous imports get started.

If you want to export data from the database, use the COPY command; On an M1 MacBook Air, PostgreSQL 14 can export about 500k connections rows per second.

psql -c 'COPY (SELECT * FROM connections) TO STDOUT csv HEADER' >connections.csv

In the nested SELECT query, you can use features like WHERE, ORDER BY and LIMIT. Because psql passes on the exported data right away, you could stream it into another process.

If you want to find stops by (geo)location, run gtfs-via-postgres with --stops-location-index. This will create a spatial index on stops.stop_loc, so that most PostGIS functions & operators make use of it.

The --postgraphile flag changes the SQL generated by gtfs-via-postgres slightly, so that you get a reasonably idiomatic GraphQL API out-of-the-box when running PostGraphile v4 on it:

# import data into PostgreSQL with PostGraphile tweaks
npm exec -- gtfs-to-sql -d --postgraphile -- gtfs/*.csv | sponge | psql -b

In line with the intended PostGraphile usage, gtfs-via-postgres will create a PostgreSQL role/user postgraphile with read-only access to the DB. You can set the postgraphile's password with the --postgraphile-password option, or using the $POSTGRAPHILE_PGPASSWORD environment variable; By default, it will use (and log) a random password.

gtfs-via-postgres doesn't specify PostGraphile as a regular dependency, but as peerDependencies, in order to stay lightweight for users who don't need the GraphQL interface. Some versions of some package managers install unmet peer dependencies, some don't. Let's make sure that PostGraphile (and its plugins) are installed:

npm install \
    postgraphile@^4.12 \
    @graphile-contrib/pg-simplify-inflector@^6.1 \
    @graphile/postgis@^0.2.0-0

The serve-gtfs-via-graphql helper script configures and runs PostGraphile. With NODE_ENV=development, it will

• serve a fully configured GraphiQL UI at /graphiql
• provide more errors on database & query errors
• allow using PostgreSQL's EXPLAIN via GraphQL

# listens on port 3000, this can be changed using $PORT
env NODE_ENV=development npm exec -- serve-gtfs-via-graphql

As an example for the GraphQL API, check out the test query or open the GraphiQL UI served at localhost:3000/graphiql.

With the --postgrest flag, gtfs-via-postgres will augment the schema with a web_anon role and some comments, so that when running PostgREST on the database, you will get a powerful REST API.

The docs directory contains more instructions on how to use gtfs-via-postgres.

When matching time values from stop_times against dates from calendar/calendar_dates, you have to take into account that GTFS Time values can be >24h and are not relative to the beginning of the day but relative to noon - 12h. (There are a few libraries that don't do this.)

This means that, in order to determine all absolute points in time where a particular trip departs at a particular stop, you cannot just loop over all "service dates" and add the time value (as in beginning_of_date + departure_time); Instead, for each date, you have to determine noon, subtract 12h and then apply the time, which might extend arbitrarily far into the following days.

Let's consider two examples:

• A departure_time of 26:59:00 with a trip running on 2021-03-01: The time, applied to this specific date, "extends" into the following day, so it actually departs at 2021-03-02T02:59+01.
• A departure time of 03:01:00 with a trip running on 2021-03-28: This is when the standard -> DST switch happens in the Europe/Berlin timezone. Because the dep. time refers to noon - 12h (not to midnight), it actually happens at 2021-03-28T03:01+02 which is not 3h1m after 2021-03-28T00:00+01.

gtfs-via-postgres always prioritizes correctness over speed. Because it follows the GTFS semantics, when filtering arrivals_departures by absolute departure date+time, it cannot automatically filter service_days (which is calendar and calendar_dates combined), because even a date before the date of the desired departure time frame might still end up within, when combined with a departure_time of e.g. 27:30:00; Instead, it has to consider all service_days and apply the departure_time to all of them to check if they're within the range.

However, if you determine your feed's largest arrival_time/departure_time, you can filter on date when querying arrivals_departures; This allows PostgreSQL to reduce the number of joins and calendar calculations by orders of magnitude, speeding up your queries significantly. gtfs-via-postgres provides two low-level helper functions largest_arrival_time() & largest_departure_time() for this, as well as two high-level helper functions dates_filter_min(t_min) & dates_filter_max(t_max) (see below).

For example, when querying all absolute departures at de:11000:900120003 (S Ostkreuz Bhf (Berlin)) between 2022-03-23T12:30+01 and 2022-03-23T12:35+01 within the 2022-02-25 VBB feed, filtering by date speeds it up nicely (Apple M1, PostgreSQL 14.2):

Using dates_filter_min(t_min) & dates_filter_max(t_max), we can easily filter by date. When filtering by t_departure (absolute departure date+time), t_min is the lower t_departure bound, whereas t_max is the upper bound. The VBB example above can be queried like this:

SELECT *
FROM arrivals_departures
-- filter by absolute departure date+time
WHERE t_departure >= '2022-03-23T12:30+01' AND t_departure <= '2022-03-23T12:35+01'
-- allow "cutoffs" by filtering by date
AND "date" >= dates_filter_min('2022-03-23T12:30+01') -- evaluates to 2023-03-22
AND "date" <= dates_filter_max('2022-03-23T12:35+01') -- evaluates to 2023-03-23

With all use cases I could think of, gtfs-via-postgres is reasonably fast. If there's a particular kind of query that you think should be faster, please open an Issue!

The following benchmarks were run with the 2022-07-01 VBB GTFS dataset (41k stops, 6m stop_times, 207m arrivals/departures) using gtfs-via-postgres@4.7.4 and PostgreSQL 14.7 on an M2 laptop running macOS 12.6.8; All measurements are in milliseconds.

There are some projects that are very similar to gtfs-via-postgres:

Node-GTFS (gtfs npm package) is widely used. It covers three use cases: importing GTFS into an SQLite DB, exporting GTFS/GeoJSON from it, and generating HTML or charts for humans.

I don't use it though because

• it doesn't handle GTFS Time values correctly (1/2, checked on 2022-03-01)
• it doesn't always work in a streaming/iterative way (1/2, checked on 2022-03-01)
• sometimes does synchronous fs calls (1/2, checked on 2022-03-01)

gtfs-sequelize uses sequelize.js to import a GTFS feed and query the DB.

I don't use it because

• it doesn't handle GTFS Time values correctly (1/2, cheked on 2022-03-01)
• it doesn't provide much tooling for analyzing all arrivals/departures (checked on 2022-03-01)
• some of its operations are quite slow, because they fetch related records of a record via JS instead of using JOINs

There are several forks of the original outdated project; fitnr's fork seems to be the most recent one.

The project has a slightly different goal than gtfs-via-postgres: While gtfs-sql-importer is designed to import multiple versions of a GTFS dataset in an idempotent fashion, gtfs-via-postgres assumes that one (version of a) GTFS dataset is imported into one DB exactly once.

gtfs-via-postgres aims to provide more tools – e.g. the arrivals_departures & connections views – to help with the analysis of a GTFS dataset, whereas gtfs-sql-importer just imports the data.

• gtfsdb – Python library for converting GTFS files into a relational database.
• pygtfs – A python (2/3) library for GTFS (fork of gtfs-sql)
• gtfspy – Public transport network analysis using Python and SQLite.
• GTFS Kit – A Python 3.6+ tool kit for analyzing General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data.
• GtfsToSql – Parses a GTFS feed into an SQL database (Java)
• gtfs-to-sqlite – A tool for generating an SQLite database from a GTFS feed. (Java)
• gtfs-lib – Java library & CLI for importing GTFS files into a PostgreSQL database.
• gtfs-schema – PostgreSQL schemas for GTFS feeds. (plain SQL)
• markusvalo/HSLtraffic – Scripts to create a PostgreSQL database for HSL GTFS-data. (plain SQL)
