Request: Historical GTFS timetable for 2021 (Greater Sydney buses)

1

Hi TfNSW Open Data Team,

I’m conducting research on NSW bus traffic performance, but I can’t find the 2021- 2022 GTFS Static timetable (i.e., the exact-dated bundles containing stop_times.txt, trips.txt, routes.txt, stops.txt, calendar*.txt, and shapes.txt).

I’ve checked:
• Timetables Complete GTFS (appears to be current only), and
• Historical GTFS Bundles and Timetables (unclear how to obtain 2021 bus static snapshots for Greater Sydney).

Is there an archive or S3 path with dated 2021 GTFS Static bundles for Greater Sydney buses?

The results are for academic research only

Many thanks for your help!

Hi Kira,

You can download the static timetable from the Historical GTFS Bundles and Timetables page (Historical GTFS Bundles and Timetables - Historical GTFS Bundles - TfNSW Open Data Hub and Developer Portal). In the bundles, look for the file named “complete_gtfs” it contains timetables for all operators. You can choose the year 2021 within that.

Alternatively, instead of using “complete_gtfs”, you can download timetables from individual bus contracts. Find the bus contract regions (Opal Trips - Bus - Sydney Metropolitan Bus Contracts Map - TfNSW Open Data Hub and Developer Portal). For reference, contract codes starting with GSBC refer to the Greater Sydney region.
