Read and validate GTFS files

Source: R/io.R
read_gtfs.Rd

Reads a GTFS feed from either a local .zip file or an URL and validates them against GTFS specifications.

Usage

read_gtfs(path, files = NULL, quiet = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

path

The path to a GTFS .zip file.

files

A character vector containing the text files to be validated against the GTFS specification without the file extension (txt or geojson). If NULL (the default), all existing files are read.

quiet

Whether to hide log messages and progress bars (defaults to TRUE).

...

Can be used to pass on arguments to gtfsio::import_gtfs(). The parameters files and quiet are passed on by default.

Value

A tidygtfs object: a list of tibbles in which each entry represents a GTFS text file. Additional tables are stored in the . sublist.

Note

Limitations: read_gtfs() does not support downloading GTFS files from URLs that require authentication. If you need to read a feed behind authentication, first download the feed to a local file and then pass the local path to read_gtfs().

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
local_gtfs_path <- system.file("extdata", "nyc_subway.zip", package = "tidytransit")
gtfs <- read_gtfs(local_gtfs_path)
summary(gtfs)

gtfs <- read_gtfs(local_gtfs_path, files = c("trips", "stop_times"))
names(gtfs)
} # }
