A GTFS Realtime feed lets transit agencies provide consumers with realtime information about disruptions to their service (stations closed, lines not operating, important delays, etc.) location of their vehicles, and expected arrival times.
Version 2.0 of the feed specification is discussed and documented on this site. Valid versions are "2.0", "1.0".
In GTFS-realtime v2.0 and higher, the Required column describes what fields must be provided by a producer in order for the transit data to be valid and make sense to a consuming application.
The following values are used in the Required field:
timestamp
) it is recommended that producers provide these optional fields when possible.Note that semantic requirements were not defined in GTFS-realtime version 1.0, and therefore feeds with gtfs_realtime_version
of 1
may not meet these requirements (see the proposal for semantic requirements for details).
Cardinality represents the number of elements that may be provided for a particular field, with the following values:
Always reference the Required and Description fields to see when a field is required, conditionally required, or optional. Please reference gtfs-realtime.proto
for Protocol Buffer cardinality.
The following protocol buffer data types are used to describe feed elements:
Fields labeled as experimental are subject to change and not yet formally adopted into the specification. An experimental field may be formally adopted in the future.
The contents of a feed message. Each message in the stream is obtained as a response to an appropriate HTTP GET request. A realtime feed is always defined with relation to an existing GTFS feed. All the entity ids are resolved with respect to the GTFS feed.
Field Name | Type | Required | Cardinality | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
header | FeedHeader | Required | One | Metadata about this feed and feed message. |
entity | FeedEntity | Conditionally required | Many | Contents of the feed. If there is real-time information available for the transit system, this field must be provided. If this field is empty, consumers should assume there is no real-time information available for the system. |
Metadata about a feed, included in feed messages.
Field Name | Type | Required | Cardinality | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
gtfs_realtime_version | string | Required | One | Version of the feed specification. The current version is 2.0. |
incrementality | Incrementality | Required | One | |
timestamp | uint64 | Required | One | This timestamp identifies the moment when the content of this feed has been created (in server time). In POSIX time (i.e., number of seconds since January 1st 1970 00:00:00 UTC). To avoid time skew between systems producing and consuming realtime information it is strongly advised to derive timestamp from a time server. It is completely acceptable to use Stratum 3 or even lower strata servers since time differences up to a couple of seconds are tolerable. |
Determines whether the current fetch is incremental.
Value |
---|
FULL_DATASET |
DIFFERENTIAL |
A definition (or update) of an entity in the transit feed. If the entity is not being deleted, exactly one of 'trip_update', 'vehicle' and 'alert' fields should be populated.
Field Name | Type | Required | Cardinality | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
id | string | Required | One | Feed-unique identifier for this entity. The ids are used only to provide incrementality support. The actual entities referenced by the feed must be specified by explicit selectors (see EntitySelector below for more info). |
is_deleted | bool | Optional | One | Whether this entity is to be deleted. Should be provided only for feeds with Incrementality of DIFFERENTIAL - this field should NOT be provided for feeds with Incrementality of FULL_DATASET. |
trip_update | TripUpdate | Conditionally required | One | Data about the realtime departure delays of a trip. At least one of the fields trip_update, vehicle, or alert must be provided - all these fields cannot be empty. |
vehicle | VehiclePosition | Conditionally required | One | Data about the realtime position of a vehicle. At least one of the fields trip_update, vehicle, or alert must be provided - all these fields cannot be empty. |
alert | Alert | Conditionally required | One | Data about the realtime alert. At least one of the fields trip_update, vehicle, or alert must be provided - all these fields cannot be empty. |
Realtime update on the progress of a vehicle along a trip. Please also refer to the general discussion of the trip updates entities.
Depending on the value of ScheduleRelationship, a TripUpdate can specify:
The updates can be for future, predicted arrival/departure events, or for past events that already occurred. In most cases information about past events is a measured value thus its uncertainty value is recommended to be 0. Although there could be cases when this does not hold so it is allowed to have uncertainty value different from 0 for past events. If an update's uncertainty is not 0, either the update is an approximate prediction for a trip that has not completed or the measurement is not precise or the update was a prediction for the past that has not been verified after the event occurred.
If a vehicle is serving multiple trips within the same block (for more information about trips and blocks, please refer to GTFS trips.txt):
trip_ids
1, 2, and 3 that all belong to one block, and the vehicle travels trip 1, then trip 2, and then trip 3, the trip_update
entities may appear in any order - for example, adding trip 2, then trip 1, and then trip 3 is allowed.Note that the update can describe a trip that has already completed.To this end, it is enough to provide an update for the last stop of the trip. If the time of arrival at the last stop is in the past, the client will conclude that the whole trip is in the past (it is possible, although inconsequential, to also provide updates for preceding stops). This option is most relevant for a trip that has completed ahead of schedule, but according to the schedule, the trip is still proceeding at the current time. Removing the updates for this trip could make the client assume that the trip is still proceeding. Note that the feed provider is allowed, but not required, to purge past updates - this is one case where this would be practically useful.
Field Name | Type | Required | Cardinality | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
trip | TripDescriptor | Required | One | The Trip that this message applies to. There can be at most one TripUpdate entity for each actual trip instance. If there is none, that means there is no prediction information available. It does not mean that the trip is progressing according to schedule. |
vehicle | VehicleDescriptor | Optional | One | Additional information on the vehicle that is serving this trip. |
stop_time_update | StopTimeUpdate | Conditionally required | Many | Updates to StopTimes for the trip (both future, i.e., predictions, and in some cases, past ones, i.e., those that already happened). The updates must be sorted by stop_sequence, and apply for all the following stops of the trip up to the next specified stop_time_update. At least one stop_time_update must be provided for the trip unless the trip.schedule_relationship is CANCELED - if the trip is canceled, no stop_time_updates need to be provided. |
timestamp | uint64 | Optional | One | Moment at which the vehicle's real-time progress was measured. In POSIX time (i.e., the number of seconds since January 1st 1970 00:00:00 UTC). |
delay | int32 | Optional | One | The current schedule deviation for the trip. Delay should only be specified when the prediction is given relative to some existing schedule in GTFS. Delay (in seconds) can be positive (meaning that the vehicle is late) or negative (meaning that the vehicle is ahead of schedule). Delay of 0 means that the vehicle is exactly on time. Delay information in StopTimeUpdates take precedent of trip-level delay information, such that trip-level delay is only propagated until the next stop along the trip with a StopTimeUpdate delay value specified. Feed providers are strongly encouraged to provide a TripUpdate.timestamp value indicating when the delay value was last updated, in order to evaluate the freshness of the data. Caution: this field is still experimental, and subject to change. It may be formally adopted in the future. |
Timing information for a single predicted event (either arrival or departure). Timing consists of delay and/or estimated time, and uncertainty.
Uncertainty applies equally to both time and delay. The uncertainty roughly specifies the expected error in true delay (but note, we don't yet define its precise statistical meaning). It's possible for the uncertainty to be 0, for example for trains that are driven under computer timing control.
Field Name | Type | Required | Cardinality | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
delay | int32 | Conditionally required | One | Delay (in seconds) can be positive (meaning that the vehicle is late) or negative (meaning that the vehicle is ahead of schedule). Delay of 0 means that the vehicle is exactly on time. Either delay or time must be provided within a StopTimeEvent - both fields cannot be empty. |
time | int64 | Conditionally required | One | Event as absolute time. In POSIX time (i.e., number of seconds since January 1st 1970 00:00:00 UTC). Either delay or time must be provided within a StopTimeEvent - both fields cannot be empty. |
uncertainty | int32 | Optional | One | If uncertainty is omitted, it is interpreted as unknown. To specify a completely certain prediction, set its uncertainty to 0. |
Realtime update for arrival and/or departure events for a given stop on a trip. Please also refer to the general discussion of stop time updates in the TripDescriptor and trip updates entities documentation.
Updates can be supplied for both past and future events. The producer is allowed, although not required, to drop past events. The update is linked to a specific stop either through stop_sequence or stop_id, so one of these fields must necessarily be set. If the same stop_id is visited more than once in a trip, then stop_sequence should be provided in all StopTimeUpdates for that stop_id on that trip.
Field Name | Type | Required | Cardinality | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
stop_sequence | uint32 | Conditionally required | One | Must be the same as in stop_times.txt in the corresponding GTFS feed. Either stop_sequence or stop_id must be provided within a StopTimeUpdate - both fields cannot be empty. stop_sequence is required for trips that visit the same stop_id more than once (e.g., a loop) to disambiguate which stop the prediction is for. |
stop_id | string | Conditionally required | One | Must be the same as in stops.txt in the corresponding GTFS feed. Either stop_sequence or stop_id must be provided within a StopTimeUpdate - both fields cannot be empty. |
arrival | StopTimeEvent | Conditionally required | One | If schedule_relationship is empty or SCHEDULED, either arrival or departure must be provided within a StopTimeUpdate - both fields cannot be empty. arrival and departure may both be empty when schedule_relationship is SKIPPED. If schedule_relationship is NO_DATA, arrival and departure must be empty. |
departure | StopTimeEvent | Conditionally required | One | If schedule_relationship is empty or SCHEDULED, either arrival or departure must be provided within a StopTimeUpdate - both fields cannot be empty. arrival and departure may both be empty when schedule_relationship is SKIPPED. If schedule_relationship is NO_DATA, arrival and departure must be empty. |
schedule_relationship | ScheduleRelationship | Optional | One | The default relationship is SCHEDULED. |
The relation between this StopTime and the static schedule.
Value | Comment |
---|---|
SCHEDULED | The vehicle is proceeding in accordance with its static schedule of stops, although not necessarily according to the times of the schedule. This is the default behavior. At least one of arrival and departure must be provided. Frequency-based trips (GTFS frequencies.txt with exact_times = 0) should not have a SCHEDULED value and should use UNSCHEDULED instead. |
SKIPPED | The stop is skipped, i.e., the vehicle will not stop at this stop. Arrival and departure are optional. When set SKIPPED is not propagated to subsequent stops in the same trip (i.e., the vehicle will stop at subsequent stops in the trip unless those stops also have a stop_time_update with schedule_relationship: SKIPPED ). Delay from a previous stop in the trip does propagate over the SKIPPED stop. In other words, if a stop_time_update with an arrival or departure prediction is not set for a stop after the SKIPPED stop, the prediction upstream of the SKIPPED stop will be propagated to the stop after the SKIPPED stop and subsequent stops in the trip until a stop_time_update for a subsequent stop is provided. |
NO_DATA | No data is given for this stop. It indicates that there is no realtime information available. When set NO_DATA is propagated through subsequent stops so this is the recommended way of specifying from which stop you do not have realtime information. When NO_DATA is set neither arrival nor departure should be supplied. |
UNSCHEDULED | The vehicle is operating a frequency-based trip (GTFS frequencies.txt with exact_times = 0). This value should not be used for trips that are not defined in GTFS frequencies.txt, or trips in GTFS frequencies.txt with exact_times = 1. Trips containing stop_time_updates with schedule_relationship: UNSCHEDULED must also set the TripDescriptor schedule_relationship: UNSCHEDULED Caution: this field is still experimental, and subject to change. It may be formally adopted in the future. . |
Realtime positioning information for a given vehicle.
Field Name | Type | Required | Cardinality | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
trip | TripDescriptor | Optional | One | The Trip that this vehicle is serving. Can be empty or partial if the vehicle can not be identified with a given trip instance. |
vehicle | VehicleDescriptor | Optional | One | Additional information on the vehicle that is serving this trip. Each entry should have a unique vehicle id. |
position | Position | Optional | One | Current position of this vehicle. |
current_stop_sequence | uint32 | Optional | One | The stop sequence index of the current stop. The meaning of current_stop_sequence (i.e., the stop that it refers to) is determined by current_status. If current_status is missing IN_TRANSIT_TO is assumed. |
stop_id | string | Optional | One | Identifies the current stop. The value must be the same as in stops.txt in the corresponding GTFS feed. |
current_status | VehicleStopStatus | Optional | One | The exact status of the vehicle with respect to the current stop. Ignored if current_stop_sequence is missing. |
timestamp | uint64 | Optional | One | Moment at which the vehicle's position was measured. In POSIX time (i.e., number of seconds since January 1st 1970 00:00:00 UTC). |
congestion_level | CongestionLevel | Optional | One | |
occupancy_status | OccupancyStatus | Optional | One | The degree of passenger occupancy of the vehicle. Caution: this field is still experimental, and subject to change. It may be formally adopted in the future. |
occupancy_percentage | uint32 | Optional | One | A percentage value representing the degree of passenger occupancy of the vehicle. The value 100 should represent total the maximum occupancy the vehicle was designed for, including both seating and standing capacity, and current operating regulations allow. It's not impossible that the value goes over 100 if there are currently more passenger than the vehicle was designed for. The precision of precision should be low enough that you can't track a single person boarding and alighting for privacy reasons. Caution: this field is still experimental, and subject to change. It may be formally adopted in the future. |

EMPTY | The vehicle is considered empty by most measures, and has few or no passengers onboard, but is still accepting passengers. |
MANY_SEATS_AVAILABLE | The vehicle has a large percentage of seats available. What percentage of free seats out of the total seats available is to be considered large enough to fall into this category is determined at the discretion of the producer. |
FEW_SEATS_AVAILABLE | The vehicle has a small percentage of seats available. What percentage of free seats out of the total seats available is to be considered small enough to fall into this category is determined at the discretion of the producer. |
STANDING_ROOM_ONLY | The vehicle can currently accommodate only standing passengers. |
CRUSHED_STANDING_ROOM_ONLY | The vehicle can currently accommodate only standing passengers and has limited space for them. |
FULL | The vehicle is considered full by most measures, but may still be allowing passengers to board. |
NOT_ACCEPTING_PASSENGERS | The vehicle can not accept passengers. |

description_text | TranslatedString | Required | One | Description for the alert. This plain-text string will be formatted as the body of the alert (or shown on an explicit "expand" request by the user). The information in the description should add to the information of the header. |
tts_header_text | TranslatedString | Optional | One | Text containing the alert's header to be used for text-to-speech implementations. This field is the text-to-speech version of header_text. It should contain the same information as header_text but formatted such that it can read as text-to-speech (for example, abbreviations removed, numbers spelled out, etc.) Caution: this field is still experimental, and subject to change.

A time interval. The interval is considered active at time t
if t
is greater than or equal to the start time and less than the end time.
Field Name | Type | Required | Cardinality | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
start | uint64 | Conditionally required | One | Start time, in POSIX time (i.e., number of seconds since January 1st 1970 00:00:00 UTC). If missing, the interval starts at minus infinity. If a TimeRange is provided, either start or end must be provided - both fields cannot be empty. |
end | uint64 | Conditionally required | One | End time, in POSIX time (i.e., number of seconds since January 1st 1970 00:00:00 UTC). If missing, the interval ends at plus infinity. If a TimeRange is provided, either start or end must be provided - both fields cannot be empty. |
A geographic position of a vehicle.
Field Name | Type | Required | Cardinality | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
latitude | float | Required | One | Degrees North, in the WGS-84 coordinate system. |
longitude | float | Required | One | Degrees East, in the WGS-84 coordinate system. |
bearing | float | Optional | One | Bearing, in degrees, clockwise from True North, i.e., 0 is North and 90 is East. This can be the compass bearing, or the direction towards the next stop or intermediate location. This should not be deduced from the sequence of previous positions, which clients can compute from previous data. |
odometer | double | Optional | One | Odometer value, in meters. |
speed | float | Optional | One | Momentary speed measured by the vehicle, in meters per second. |
A descriptor that identifies a single instance of a GTFS trip.
To specify a single trip instance, in many cases a trip_id
by itself is sufficient. However, the following cases require additional information to resolve to a single trip instance:
start_date
and start_time
are required in addition to trip_id
start_date
is required in addition to trip_id
trip_id
field can't be provided, then route_id
, direction_id
, start_date
, and start_time
must all be providedIn all cases, if route_id
is provided in addition to trip_id
, then the route_id
must be the same route_id
as assigned to the given trip in GTFS trips.txt.
The trip_id
field cannot, by itself or in combination with other TripDescriptor fields, be used to identify multiple trip instances. For example, a TripDescriptor should never specify trip_id by itself for GTFS frequencies.txt exact_times=0 trips because start_time is also required to resolve to a single trip instance starting at a specific time of the day. If the TripDescriptor does not resolve to a single trip instance (i.e., it resolves to zero or multiple trip instances), it is considered an error and the entity containing the erroneous TripDescriptor may be discarded by consumers.
Note that if the trip_id is not known, then station sequence ids in TripUpdate are not sufficient, and stop_ids must be provided as well. In addition, absolute arrival/departure times must be provided.
TripDescriptor.route_id cannot be used within an Alert EntitySelector to specify a route-wide alert that affects all trips for a route - use EntitySelector.route_id instead.
Field Name | Type | Required | Cardinality | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
trip_id | string | Conditionally required | One | The trip_id from the GTFS feed that this selector refers to. For non frequency-based trips (trips not defined in GTFS frequencies.txt), this field is enough to uniquely identify the trip. For frequency-based trips defined in GTFS frequencies.txt, trip_id, start_time, and start_date are all required. For scheduled-based trips (trips not defined in GTFS frequencies.txt), trip_id can only be omitted if the trip can be uniquely identified by a combination of route_id, direction_id, start_time, and start_date, and all those fields are provided. |
route_id | string | Conditionally required | One | The route_id from the GTFS that this selector refers to. If trip_id is omitted, route_id, direction_id, start_time, and schedule_relationship=SCHEDULED must all be set to identify a trip instance. TripDescriptor.route_id should not be used within an Alert EntitySelector to specify a route-wide alert that affects all trips for a route - use EntitySelector.route_id instead. |
direction_id | uint32 | Conditionally required | One | The direction_id from the GTFS feed trips.txt file, indicating the direction of travel for trips this selector refers to. If trip_id is omitted, direction_id must be provided. Caution: this field is still experimental, and subject to change. It may be formally adopted in the future. |
start_time | string | Conditionally required | One | The initially scheduled start time of this trip instance. When the trip_id corresponds to a non-frequency-based trip, this field should either be omitted or be equal to the value in the GTFS feed. When the trip_id correponds to a frequency-based trip defined in GTFS frequencies.txt, start_time is required and must be specified for trip updates and vehicle positions. If the trip corresponds to exact_times=1 GTFS record, then start_time must be some multiple (including zero) of headway_secs later than frequencies.txt start_time for the corresponding time period. If the trip corresponds to exact_times=0, then its start_time may be arbitrary, and is initially expected to be the first departure of the trip. Once established, the start_time of this frequency-based exact_times=0 trip should be considered immutable, even if the first departure time changes -- that time change may instead be reflected in a StopTimeUpdate. If trip_id is omitted, start_time must be provided. Format and semantics of the field is same as that of GTFS/frequencies.txt/start_time, e.g., 11:15:35 or 25:15:35. |
start_date | string | Conditionally required | One | The start date of this trip instance in YYYYMMDD format. For scheduled trips (trips not defined in GTFS frequencies.txt), this field must be provided to disambiguate trips that are so late as to collide with a scheduled trip on a next day. For example, for a train that departs 8:00 and 20:00 every day, and is 12 hours late, there would be two distinct trips on the same time. This field can be provided but is not mandatory for schedules in which such collisions are impossible - for example, a service running on hourly schedule where a vehicle that is one hour late is not considered to be related to schedule anymore. This field is required for frequency-based trips defined in GTFS frequencies.txt. If trip_id is omitted, start_date must be provided. |
schedule_relationship | ScheduleRelationship | Optional | One | The relation between this trip and the static schedule. If TripDescriptor is provided in an Alert EntitySelector , the schedule_relationship field is ignored by consumers when identifying the matching trip instance. |
The relation between this trip and the static schedule. If a trip is done in accordance with temporary schedule, not reflected in GTFS, then it shouldn't be marked as SCHEDULED, but marked as ADDED.
Value | Comment |
---|---|
SCHEDULED | Trip that is running in accordance with its GTFS schedule, or is close enough to the scheduled trip to be associated with it. |
ADDED | An extra trip that was added in addition to a running schedule, for example, to replace a broken vehicle or to respond to sudden passenger load. |
UNSCHEDULED | A trip that is running with no schedule associated to it - this value is used to identify trips defined in GTFS frequencies.txt with exact_times = 0. It should not be used to describe trips not defined in GTFS frequencies.txt, or trips in GTFS frequencies.txt with exact_times = 1. Trips with schedule_relationship: UNSCHEDULED must also set all StopTimeUpdates schedule_relationship: UNSCHEDULED |
CANCELED | A trip that existed in the schedule but was removed. |
Identification information for the vehicle performing the trip.
Field Name | Type | Required | Cardinality | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
id | string | Optional | One | Internal system identification of the vehicle. Should be unique per vehicle, and is used for tracking the vehicle as it proceeds through the system. This id should not be made visible to the end-user; for that purpose use the label field |
label | string | Optional | One | User visible label, i.e., something that must be shown to the passenger to help identify the correct vehicle. |
license_plate | string | Optional | One | The license plate of the vehicle. |
A selector for an entity in a GTFS feed. The values of the fields should correspond to the appropriate fields in the GTFS feed. At least one specifier must be given. If several are given, they should be interpreted as being joined by the logical AND
operator. Additionally, the combination of specifiers must match the corresponding information in the GTFS feed. In other words, in order for an alert to apply to an entity in GTFS it must match all of the provided EntitySelector fields. For example, an EntitySelector that includes the fields route_id: "5"
and route_type: "3"
applies only to the route_id: "5"
bus - it does not apply to any other routes of route_type: "3"
. If a producer wants an alert to apply to route_id: "5"
as well as route_type: "3"
, it should provide two separate EntitySelectors, one referencing route_id: "5"
and another referencing route_type: "3"
.
At least one specifier must be given - all fields in an EntitySelector cannot be empty.
Field Name | Type | Required | Cardinality | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
agency_id | string | Conditionally required | One | The agency_id from the GTFS feed that this selector refers to. |
route_id | string | Conditionally required | One | The route_id from the GTFS that this selector refers to. If direction_id is provided, route_id must also be provided. |
route_type | int32 | Conditionally required | One | The route_type from the GTFS that this selector refers to. |
direction_id | uint32 | Conditionally required | One | The direction_id from the GTFS feed trips.txt file, used to select all trips in one direction for a route, specified by route_id. If direction_id is provided, route_id must also be provided. Caution: this field is still experimental, and subject to change. It may be formally adopted in the future. |
trip | TripDescriptor | Conditionally required | One | The trip instance from the GTFS that this selector refers to. This TripDescriptor must resolve to a single trip instance in the GTFS data (e.g., a producer cannot provide only a trip_id for exact_times=0 trips). If the ScheduleRelationship field is populated within this TripDescriptor it will be ignored by consumers when attempting to identify the GTFS trip. |
stop_id | string | Conditionally required | One | The stop_id from the GTFS feed that this selector refers to. |
An internationalized message containing per-language versions of a snippet of text or a URL. One of the strings from a message will be picked up. The resolution proceeds as follows: If the UI language matches the language code of a translation, the first matching translation is picked. If a default UI language (e.g., English) matches the language code of a translation, the first matching translation is picked. If some translation has an unspecified language code, that translation is picked.
Field Name | Type | Required | Cardinality | Description |

A localized string mapped to a language.
Field Name | Type | Required | Cardinality | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
text | string | Required | One | A UTF-8 string containing the message. |
language | string | Conditionally required | One | BCP-47 language code. Can be omitted if the language is unknown or if no internationalization is done at all for the feed. At most one translation is allowed to have an unspecified language tag - if there is more than one translation, the language must be provided. |
