The datasets

One release, six datasets that fit together: the same operator, region and station identifiers throughout, one method for every country.

Methodology
  1. 1Collect

    Official GTFS timetables from the Mobility Database, national access points and DELFI; tender notices from TED.

  2. 2Normalise

    One representative week per feed, duplicates across regional and national feeds removed, every stop placed in its NUTS-3 region.

  3. 3Publish

    An immutable, versioned release: figures annualised from that week, methodology and limits documented.
