I’m ready to begin! Where’s the data?

***Before downloading the files and starting your development, make sure you have filled out the form and have read the terms and conditions of use.

Click here to download the form.

The data on its planned schedules that the STL is making available to developers is in GTF (General Transit Feed, formely Google Transit Feed) format. In order to clearly understand this data structure and make the most of its use, please consult the Google website on the specifications of this data format: General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS).

Here’s the link to download the files on the STL’s schedules in GTFS format: STL GTF file

The STL is also making the real-time data on its schedules available to developers, in XML feed format. Here is the link to the feed and the appropriate documentation in order to make good use of it.

Link to documentation: XML feed documentation

Link to the STL’s XML feed:Please read the feed documentation to access the feed, multiple commands and parameters are required to get a result set. Note the following value “a=stl” for one of the necessary parameters. This is the STL’s agency code so you can request information on our data.

Will the STL help me during my development?

The STL Developers group has been set up for this purpose; however, the STL can’t help you resolve a programming problem. As for understanding the data, if you ask a question on the Group’s site, a member of our team will answer within a reasonable amount of time. In addition, all the other members will be able to benefit from it. Or you may contact us by using the Group’s email address: stldeveloppeurs@stl.laval.qc.ca

All the best with your developing!
