### Getting started
If this is your first time dealing with transit data, you might find these links useful:
- [GTFS](https://developers.google.com/transit/gtfs/) - A GTFS feed is a group of text files that contains infrequently changing transit data, like stops, routes, trips, and other schedule data. Transit agencies typically update their GTFS feed every few months.
- [GTFS Realtime](https://developers.google.com/transit/gtfs-realtime/) - GTFS Realtime consists of three binary files that contain realtime vehicle positions, realtime arrival information, and service alerts. Transit agencies typically update these files every minute.
- [World Bank - "Intro. to GTFS" online course](https://olc.worldbank.org/content/introduction-general-transit-feed-specification-gtfs-and-informal-transit-system-mapping) - A free, online, self-paced course for learning about GTFS and GTFS-realtime.
- [Open Transit Data Toolkit](http://transitdatatoolkit.com/) - A series of lessons to help people utilize open transit data.
- [MBTA GTFS Onboarding](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/mbta/gtfs_onboarding/main?urlpath=lab/tree/GTFS_Onboarding.ipynb) - An interactive tutorial created by MBTA for GTFS static. A [stand-alone Docker image](https://github.com/mbta/gtfs_onboarding) is available on GitHub as well as a [hosted/no-install version](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/mbta/gtfs_onboarding/main?urlpath=lab/tree/GTFS_Onboarding.ipynb) of the Jupyter notebook.

### Data
Places to access collections of GTFS and other transit and multimodal data
#### 3rd party GTFS URL directories
- [The Mobility Database](https://mobilitydatabase.org/) - JSON and CSV files [on GitHub](https://github.com/MobilityData/mobility-database-catalogs) that is a repository of 2000+ mobility datasets across the world. Contains contents of OpenMobilityData/TransitFeeds.com.
- [Transitland](https://transit.land/) - Community editable list of many transit agency GTFS datasets. Also provides an API to access the data as JSON/GeoJSON and a playground to try out the data.
- [TransitData.io](https://transitdata.io/) - A list of GTFS data in parts of Latin America. Must contact website maintainers directly to access feeds, as they're not publicly available.
- [~~GTFS Data Exchange~~ (Deprecated)](http://www.gtfs-data-exchange.com/agencies) - Formerly the definitive directory of GTFS feed URLs. Shutdown in 2016. But 93 GB of data from 2008 to 2016 is available upon request.
