Modernizing Transport Data: How GTFS-Flex Benefits Communities Globally | LinkedIn

Transportation should be an equalizer, not a barrier. But a rigid 20-year-old transit data format has struggled to depict the fluidity of the real world, particularly for underserved communities and in the global South. GTFS-Flex is changing that. This innovative data specification allows for the efficient mapping and deployment of demand-responsive services such as informal transport, ride hailing, and flexible bus routes. Join our webinar to explore how GTFS-Flex empowers communities to build integrated mobility ecosystems that unite diverse services into seamless door-to-door journeys. Our panel will highlight lessons from global experts working to enhance equity and accessibility through open data standards such as GTFS-Flex.

GTFS-Flex opens new horizons for mobility in underserved areas by combining fixed routes with on-demand services. Our webinar explores this revolutionary transit data standard.
