Is there an automated way to generate a transit schedule from existing data sources?

Hi Daniel,

https://github.com/matsim-org/GTFS2MATSim

is an easy way to convert GTFS data into a transit schedule.

You may need to create a network and transit vehicles around it afterwards. I'll try to add a chapter into the tutorial on how to do this in the next weeks.

Daniel, yes, Joschka's recommendation works very nice. Although we use it in South Africa too, it does, however, assume the pt runs independently of the rest of the road network. I have not used PT2MATSim myself, but it seems to do what you want.

Best, Johan
