Notes

• This project’s development status is Alpha. I use GTFS Kit for work and change it breakingly to suit my needs.

• This project uses semantic versioning.

• I aim for GTFS Kit to handle the current GTFS. In particular, i avoid handling GTFS extensions. That is the most reasonable scope boundary i can draw at present, given this project’s tiny budget. If you would like to fund me to expand that scope, feel free to email me.

• Thanks to MRCagney for periodically donating to this project.

• Constructive feedback and contributions are welcome. Please issue pull requests from a feature branch into the develop branch and include tests.

• GTFS time is measured relative noon minus 12 hours, which can mess things up when crossing into daylight savings time. I don’t think this issue causes any bugs in GTFS Kit, but you and i have been warned. Thanks to user derhuerst for bringing this to my attention in closed Issue 8.
