It has 335 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated October 25, 2026. GTFS 2 (General Transit Feed Specification) brings public transport schedules into Home Assistant through the interface. It adds sensors that schedule a route between self-defined start and end stops, or list departures from stops in a self-defined zone or around a device such as a person. Transit data comes from a zip file, either linked by URL or placed in a folder, with an optional API key. Realtime trip updates, vehicle positions and alerts can be added when the provider offers them, and vehicle positions can be shown on a map card through geojson files. Actions update the data sources and extract upcoming departures or arrivals for automations. It works locally and is set up in the UI. Automatic summary of the README and code of vingerha/gtfs2.
