How to print European train timetables on a (very long) receipt (megakc25)


Listen Later

"Psst, hey kid, want some timetable receipts to watch trains go by?" Transit data is fun, and so are receipt printers! In this talk, I'll be talking about the *ahem* unified and *ahem* standardized datasets in the EU, and the processing headaches that come with printing train sights on a receipt! Surely it can't be *that* cursed, right?
Seeing trains is great - Knowing when they (supposedly) come is even better.
This talk will be about the following points I encountered on my journey of processing this transit data:
- Context about EU transit data regulations
- GTFS vs NeTEx: Why? Huh? Who? What?
- How GTFS works
- Sources of GTFS data
- How to extract sights at a point from a timetable
- Highlights of data processing issues
- Getting sights on receipts!
