Description of the discussion

💡 Ignite Collaboration, Drive Innovation 💡

GTFS is becoming more complex as it encompasses more concepts, making it difficult to comprehend what can be represented using it. To address this issue, MobilityData is working on defining the different GTFS Components that exist, which will offer a clear and definitive definition of what GTFS can do.

At this event, we brought together brilliant minds, industry experts, and passionate community members to engage in meaningful discussions about GTFS Components. Our primary focus was on understanding the community’s needs and ensuring that we are on the right track toward meeting them.

🌟 Engage, Share, and Empower the GTFS Community 🌟

This event was not just a discussion; it was an opportunity for stakeholders to play an active role in shaping the future of GTFS Components. Stakeholder’s input, ideas, and perspectives are invaluable, and were encouraged to participate wholeheartedly.
