General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS)

METRO RTA’s transit data is available in the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS). This dataset includes schedule data for all of METRO’s fixed routes. The feed allows METRO to share our public transit information with developers.

Geographic Information Systems Shapefile

METRO RTA bus route data is also available in shapefile form for use in Geographic Information Systems software. This data can be used for mapping and analysis purposes. Please note shapefiles do not contain bus stop data.
