-## 11. Stop Transfers (transfers.txt)
-
-*This file is ***optional*** in a GTFS feed.*
-
-To define how passengers can transfer between routes at specific stops
-feed providers can include `transfers.txt`. This does not mean
-passengers cannot transfer elsewhere, but it does indicate if a transfer
-is not possible between certain stops, or a minimum time required if
-transfer is possible.
-
-| Field | Required? | Description |
-| :----- | :-------- | :---------- |
-| `from_stop_id` | Required | The ID of stop as it appears in `stops.txt` where the connection begins. If this references a station, then this rule applies to all stops within the station. |
-| `to_stop_id` | Required | The ID of the stop as it appears in `stops.txt` where the connection between trips ends. If this references a station, then this rule applies to all stops within the station. |
-| `transfer_type` | Required | `0` or blank means the recommended transfer point, `1` means the secondary vehicle will wait for the first, `2` means a minimum amount of time is required, `3` means transfer is not possible. |
-| `min_transfer_time` | Optional | If the `transfer_type` value is `2` then this value must be specified. It indicates the number of seconds required to transfer between the given stops. |
-
-It is also possible that records in this file are specified for
-ticketing reasons. For instance, some train stations are set up so that
-passengers can transfer between routes without needing to validate their
-ticket again or buy a transfer. Other stations that are shared between
-those same routes might not have this open transfer area, thereby
-requiring you to exit one route fully before buying another ticket to
-access the second.
-
-### Sample Data
-
-The following table shows some sample transfer rules from TriMet in
-Portland's GTFS feed (<https://openmobilitydata.org/p/trimet>).
-
-| `from_stop_id` | `to_stop_id` | `transfer_type` | `min_transfer_time` |
-| :------------- | :----------- | :-------------- | :------------------ |
-| 7807 | 5020 | 0 | |
-| 7807 | 7634 | 0 | |
-| 7807 | 7640 | 0 | |
-
-These rules indicate that if you are transferring from a route that
-visits stop `7807` to any route that visits the other stops (`5020`,
-`7634` or `7640`), then this is the ideal place to do it.
-
-In other words, if there are other locations along the first route where
-you could transfer to the second route, then those stops should not be
-used. These rules say this is the best place to transfer.
-
-Consider the transfer rule in the following table, taken from the New
-York City Subway GTFS feed (<https://openmobilitydata.org/p/mta/79>).
-
-| `from_stop_id` | `to_stop_id` | `transfer_type` | `min_transfer_time` |
-| :------------- | :----------- | :-------------- | :------------------ |
-| 121 | 121 | 2 | 180 |
-
-In this data, the MTA specifies how long it takes to transfer to
-different platforms within the same station. The stop with ID 121 refers
-to the 86th St station (as specified in `stops.txt`). It has a
-`location_type` of `1` and two stops within it (`121N` and
-`121S`). The above transfer rule says that if you need to transfer
-from `121N` to `121S` (or vice-versa) then a minimum time of 3
-minutes (180 seconds) must be allocated.
-
-If you were to calculate the time taken to transfer using the
-coordinates of each of these platforms, it would only take a few seconds
-as they are physically close to each other. In reality though, you must
-exit one platform then walk around and enter the other platform (often
-having to use stairs).
