The 2026 NTD GTFS requirements
What the National Transit Database asks for, in plain language — and that you do not need Miles to comply. Read it.
Public transit
County, city, rural and tribal systems, typically four to twenty vehicles, whose riders stand at a stop with a PDF timetable and no idea where the bus is. We fix the half they notice.
STEP 1·TODAY
Riders guess. Your phone rings. Every vendor quote you have seen is a capital project with a procurement attached.
STEP 2·WEEK 1
Phones your drivers already carry, the GPS you already run, or up to 4 loaned trackers. One pasted line puts the live map on your own website.
STEP 3·WEEKS 2–6
We build your GTFS and GTFS-Realtime from your timetable and keep them valid as service changes.
STEP 4·AFTER THAT
We handle the submission to Google Maps, the Transit app and the Mobility Database. Approval is theirs and takes weeks.
Per vehicle, per month, month to month, no termination fee. The rate steps down as the fleet grows; the 60-day pilot comes first. Bring your own phones or GPS and the rate is lower still — the full table is on the pricing page.
