Hi Everyone, I got questions related to GTFS RT and I hope to have your advice. When I decoded the protobuf file (BODS GTFS RT), I notice there is no information in the “vehicle” fields “current\_stop\_sequence” and “cur…

## [GTFS-RT data only has \`schedule\_relationship\` = 0](https://boduf.discourse.group/t/gtfs-rt-data-only-has-schedule-relationship-0/132)

There are 6 different options for schedule\_relationship. In 10 days of GTFS-RT data we collected from BODS, we didn’t see a value other than 0, which means “scheduled”. We know that in 10 days some bus services must ha…

Hi, I am planning to write a mobile app making use of the live bus data (SIRI). One issue that comes to mind from a developer point of view is that the compiled APK file (distributable app) will contain the API key if i…

## [Incorrect \`stop\_sequence\` in GTFS-RT location data](https://boduf.discourse.group/t/incorrect-stop-sequence-in-gtfs-rt-location-data/126)

When recreating GTFS timetables based on the live location data we needed to find when buses were at individual stops. To do this we rely on the stop\_sequence number rather than individual GPS coordinates (as coordinates…

## [GTFS-RT and SIRI feeds contain different data](https://boduf.discourse.group/t/gtfs-rt-and-siri-feeds-contain-different-data/125)

Given the data quality issues with the GTFS-RT feed, we wanted to see if SIRI was better. Our aim was to gain an initial understanding of how similar these two data feeds are. For example, to what extent do they report …

In September 2024, we (Open Innovations) downloaded the live locations from the BODS GTFS-RT feed every minute for 10 days. Our intention was to use the data to create “real” versions of the timetables that were based o…
