Agencies (agency.txt) - -*This file is ***required*** to be included in GTFS feeds.* - -The `agency.txt` file is used to represent the agencies that provide -data for this feed. While its presence is optional, if there are routes -from multiple agencies included, then records in `routes.txt` make -reference to agencies in this file. - -| Field | Required? | Description | -| :----------------------------------------------------- | :--------: | :-------- | -| `agency_id` | Optional | An ID that uniquely identifies a single transit agency in the feed. If a feed only contains routes for a single agency then this value is optional. | -| `agency_name` | Required | The full name of the transit agency. | -| `agency_url` | Required | The URL of the transit agency. Must be a complete URL only, beginning with `http://` or `https://`. | -| `agency_timezone` | Required | Time zone of agency. All times in `stop_times.txt` use this time zone, unless overridden by its corresponding stop. All agencies in a single feed must use the same time zone. Example: **America/New_York** (See <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones> for more examples) | -| `agency_lang` | Required | Contains a two-letter ISO-639-1 code (such as `en` or `EN` for English) for the language used in this feed. | -| `agency_phone` | Optional | A single voice telephone number for the agency that users can dial if required. | -| `agency_fare_url` | Optional | A URL that describes fare information for the agency. Must be a complete URL only, beginning with `http://` or `https://`. | - -### Sample Data - -The following extract is taken from the GTFS feed of TriMet (Portland, -USA), located at <https://openmobilitydata.org/p/trimet>. - -| `agency_name` | `agency_url` | `agency_timezone` | `agency_lang` | `agency_phone` | -| :------------ | :------------------------------------------- | :-------------------- | :------------ | :--------------- | -| `TriMet` | `[https://trimets.org](https://trimet.org/)` | `America/Los_Angeles` | `en` | `(503) 238-7433` | - -In this example, the `agency_id` column is included, but as there is -only a single entry the value can be empty. This means the `agency_id` -column in `routes.txt` also is not required. - -### Discussion - -The data in this file is typically used to provide additional -information to users of your app or web site in case schedules derived -from the rest of this feed are not sufficient (or in the case of -`agency_fare_url`, an easy way to provide a reference point to users -if the fare information in the feed is not being used). - -If you refer to the following screenshot, taken from Google Maps, you -can see the information from `agency.txt` represented in the -lower-left corner as an example of how it can be used. - - - - |
