Transit Analytics Resources
Authoritative guides on GTFS, GTFS-Realtime, CAD/AVL, transit KPIs, and performance management for public transit professionals.
Measuring On-Time Performance
Best practices for measuring on-time performance (OTP) in public transit — definitions, timepoints, reporting standards, and analytics approaches.
What is GTFS?
Learn what the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) is, how transit agencies use it, and why GTFS analytics are essential for public transit performance management.
Bus Bunching Analysis
How to detect, analyze, and address bus bunching using headway data, real-time monitoring, and transit performance analytics.
Transit Dashboard Best Practices
Best practices for designing transit dashboards — KPI selection, audience-specific views, real-time vs historical metrics, and executive reporting.
Passenger Load Profiles
Understanding passenger load profiles in transit — APC data, overcrowding analysis, capacity planning, and load factor reporting.
Ridership Analytics Best Practices
Best practices for transit ridership analytics — data collection, APC integration, trend analysis, and reporting for agencies and planners.
Transit KPI Guide
A comprehensive guide to the most important transit KPIs — on-time performance, headway adherence, ridership, service reliability, and more — for public transit agencies.
Understanding CAD/AVL
Learn how Computer Aided Dispatch and Automated Vehicle Location (CAD/AVL) systems work and how CAD/AVL data supports transit analytics and fleet monitoring.
Data-Driven Transit Planning
How transit agencies use operational data, GTFS analytics, ridership trends, and performance KPIs to support evidence-based service planning.
Headway Adherence Explained
What headway adherence means for transit operations, how it differs from on-time performance, and why it matters for high-frequency service.
What is GTFS-Realtime?
Understand GTFS-Realtime (GTFS-RT) — trip updates, vehicle positions, and service alerts — and how real-time transit data powers operational dashboards.
Put transit analytics into practice.
