Transport Timetables 100% open

What data is expected?

Timetables of major government operated (or commissioned) national-level public transport services (specifically bus and train). The focus here is on national level services (not those which operate only at a municipal or city level and which are not controlled or regulated by the national government). A 'yes' in any question will refer to both types of transport. However, if there is no national level service operated or regulated by the government for a given type of transport (for instance busses), then this type is ignored in this data category.

Since beginning of 2014, the SBB/CFF/FFS has started to published an export of the full timetable for Switzerland bus, train and other public transport modes. The format is available for download after registration. http://gtfs.geops.ch/ transformed the HRDF (HAFAS) format into a GTFS Feed for more convenient integration.

Public transportation in Switzerland is run by a private company, with government regulation (see federal railroads law, in French). Open timetable data that is not supported by a Swiss transport agency can be found in an unofficial API: transport.opendata.ch
