How this works

Follow the sections in order, or jump back to any of them later. Your work is saved automatically in this browser, and you can export/import the whole project as a JSON file.

Operators

Add the details of the operator(s) running the services.

Stops

Use the Stop Library to add details for your stops, or optionally import NaPTAN to autofill them.

Routes & Timetables

Create each route, put its stops in order, then add timetables and the dates each one runs.

Review & Export

Check the validation summary, fix anything it flags, then download your finished file.

Separate workspaces

GTFS and TXC projects are stored separately in this browser. A project file saved from one builder can be used as the starting point in the other via cross-format conversion, which reports exactly what transferred, what was removed, and what needs your attention.
