GTFS-formatted data listing vehicle arrival and departure times at individual stops for each bus trip in Edmonton. The dataset is provided by data.edmonton.ca and was last updated on 2026-04-07. It likely contains scheduled transit times for the Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) network.
Use Cases
- Modeling trip duration and stop dwell times using arrival_time, departure_time, and stop_sequence.
- Building transit routing algorithms by sequencing stops with trip_id and stop_sequence.
- Analyzing service patterns and frequency by aggregating trips using trip_id and arrival_time_fixed.
- Identifying special service stops (e.g., on-demand pickup) using the pickup_type and drop_off_type columns.
Strengths
- Data follows the standardized GTFS (General Transit Feed Specification) format, ensuring interoperability.
- Provides both scheduled (arrival_time_fixed, departure_time_fixed) and potentially real-time (arrival_time, departure_time) fields.
- Includes service type flags (pickup_type, drop_off_type) for detailed stop behavior analysis.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
