Thanks for the feedback! Project is definitely under daily development and subject to changes but it should be ready for reuse soon.

We use OpenTripPlanner for translating GTFS in a format to use with this. What type of bridge did you have in mind? What city/services were you looking at?

I'm in South Africa, developing a public transit planner for Johannesburg and surrounds (you can check it out at https://rwt.to [search for "Naledi, Soweto" to "Hatfield Square, Pretoria" as an example], also obviously still under development).

I opted not to use GTFS as it didn't meet my needs with regards to many things, for example I built a pricing engine/calculator which calculates prices dynamically based on a set of rules, and as a result for train services that are priced based on track distance, I needed to draw the tracks accurate to a few meters per km, so that I can extract the pricing information from there.

When I have time in the near future, I want to write a Node.js script that converts the data that I have to GTFS, fairly trivial but not a priority at this point :)
