GTFS (General Transit Feed Specification) Database

Python code that will load GTFS data into a relational database, and Sql/Geo-Alchemy ORM bindings to the GTFS tables in the gtfsdb.

The gtfsdb project's focus is on making GTFS data available in a programmatic context for software developers. The need for the gtfsdb project comes from the fact that a lot of developers start out a GTFS-related effort by first building some amount of code to read GTFS data (whether that's an in-memory loader, a database loader, etc...); gtfsdb can hopefully reduce the need for such drudgery, and give developers a starting point beyond the first step of dealing with GTFS in .csv file format.

A companion project to gtfsdb is gtfsdb-web. gtfsdb-web includes a GeoServer 'data' directory (among other add-ons), which binds to a geo-enabled gtfsdb database, exposing the GTFS data as a WMS/WFS.
