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). - |
