"Psst, hey kid, want some timetable receipts to watch trains go by?" Transit data is fun, and so are receipt printers! In this talk, I'll be talking about the ahem unified and ahem standardized datasets in the EU, and the processing headaches that come with printing train sights on a receipt! Surely it can't be that cursed, right?
Seeing trains is great - Knowing when they (supposedly) come is even better.
This talk will be about the following points I encountered on my journey of processing this transit data:
- Context about EU transit data regulations
- GTFS vs NeTEx: Why? Huh? Who? What?
- How GTFS works
- Sources of GTFS data
- How to extract sights at a point from a timetable
- Highlights of data processing issues
- Getting sights on receipts!
One of the transit data slurpers of all time, train enjoyer and doohickey tinkerer, studying at htw saar. Likes machines and devices going beep boop, also allegedly on fedi at times.
