Gtfs bundle for type schedule is not available for agency buses

Real-time Public Transport

Hi Yvonne,

I know you must be sick of this, but is there any ETA for the single bundle bus API availability? I have been running an application using the static timetables for over a year. I decided to bite the bullet and add realtime to it. I got over the change in the route_type field in the routes file, and the fact that the fields in the ferry files are not quoted, but I have discovered that the service_ids are duplicated within the four bus bundles, and this is a bit more difficult to deal with. I would really prefer to use the consolidated bundle rather than add specific pre-processing that will be irrelevant when the consolidated file is available.

Thanks,
Ned

Hi Ned

The ETA is still a bit nebulous. There are a few other priorities in the buses feed which need fixing which means the manual buses bundle is being supplied. Note the bus bundle is the same as what I post up as a zip file. Which I thought (I can check though!) is just all the individual zip files in one.

Sorry I can’t be more certain at this stage about an ETA…

Regards
Yvonne

In case you were waiting for it…

here’s the latest zipped bus timetable file https://we.tl/v6X146SEBj (valid for 7 days)

Thanks Yvonne. My application is working fine with the manual bundle. I see from the message below that there’s a new manual bundle, so I’ll download that. I might do a bit of work to try to overcome the problems with the individual bundles, as I’m only interested in the Sydney Transit agencies.

Thanks again,
Ned

Ned - check out the reference tables https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/site/en_us/reference-tables.html#overlapping for details about which ones you need for Sydney Transit agencies.

(Sorry had to move this to Google Drive as WeTransfer no longer works for me)

We’ll leave it at this link and I’ll just add new files to this folder (and remove old ones)

Hi all

This has now been resolved and the bundle buses.zip is now available via the API Gateway/Open Data Hub. You can continue getting the by contract region files or get the whole big bundle.

Oh and please remember the ‘new’ API explorer doesn’t handle large files well.

Let us know how you go.
