Introduction

GTFS-flex is an extension of the General Transit Feed Specification designed to enable trip planning for various types of demand-responsive or paratransit service. While GTFS-powered feeds offer convenient information on fixed route, scheduled service, they are not designed to show demand-responsive service, leaving users in certain areas with an incomplete picture of their options. The Vermont Agency of Transportation is working on a GTFS-flex specification to bring rural transit and paratransit to apps like Google Maps.

Implementations

TCaT

Tulare County: Google Maps trip planner showing no transit trips.
Tulare County: GTFS-flex based trip planner at ridetcat.org integrating demand-responsive and fixed route service.

TCaT (Tulare County Area Transit) uses a GTFS-flex powered trip planner to integrate their demand-responsive and fixed route service, providing convenience for users.
