GTFS-Real Time

Developers Please Note:
Real time departures for BART to Antioch stations are not currently available in BART’s GTFS-RT feed.

Data from the BART to Antioch system does not include a unique ID that is coordinated with schedule. As a result, we’re unable to generate real time departure predictions in GTFS-RT format for both Antioch and Pittsburg Center stations. This issue affects BART GTFS-RT only. The ‘etd’ command in the BART API and real time departure services on bart.gov are unaffected.

BART engineering and scheduling teams are coordinating with the BART to Antioch team to implement a solution. We do not have a timeline yet, but we will update you as soon as we know more here, and on the BART Developers email list.
 

• What's GTFS-RT?
  BART worked with Google and an international partnership of transit agencies to create a standard, lightweight way to describe real time arrivals and service advisories. The resulting General Transit Feed Specification - Real Time is built with the General Transit Feed Specification in mind, so if you're already using BART's GTFS Schedules you're good to go!

• No registration required
  We won't make you jump through hoops to use BART GTFS. Just follow our short and simple Developer License Agreement and give our customers good information.

• Keep your work up to date
  Things change. When they do we'll try to give you plenty of notice through the BART developer email list.

• Don't use the official BART logo or system map
  Only we get to use official BART trademarks and copyrighted works to let customers know they're getting info directly from BART versus one of the tons of other places that use BART open data. (If you need a BART system map for your project, check out our editable App Map with a CC-By license).

• Don't forget about us!
  Give us a shout out or a link back and let us know about the cool stuff you're doing.

• What about help?
  Sorry: if we help you, it's only fair that we help everyone else, too. We simply don't have the resources for that, beyond our detailed documentation.
   
• Plans for the future
  Our developer services are created on what we call "BART one percent time." In that context, we're doing our best to add new features, fix problems and keep it all going. Drop us a line if you have any suggestions.
