Automate your route schedule publishing

Create consistent, passenger-ready route schedule PDFs from the transit data your team already maintains. Reduce manual formatting, avoid duplicated updates and make it easier to keep downloadable schedules aligned with your network data.

Route schedule PDFs generated from GTFS

One service change shouldn't mean rebuilding every PDF

When a route or timetable changes, schedule PDFs often need to be manually edited, reformatted, reviewed and uploaded again. For agencies with multiple routes and service variations, even a small network change can create hours of repetitive publishing work.

GTFS data feeding a route schedule PDF

Publish from one reliable source

Ride Guide uses your GTFS data to generate consistent route schedule PDFs. Routes, stops, departure times and service calendars are taken from the network data your team already maintains, reducing the need to rebuild schedule documents by hand.

This creates a more efficient path from an approved service change to updated passenger information.

Keep digital and printable information aligned

Generating schedule PDFs from a shared data source helps keep information and formatting consistent across the network. Each document can follow an agreed layout and structure while reflecting the relevant route and timetable data.

This makes schedules easier for passengers to recognise and use, while giving agencies greater confidence that each PDF reflects the intended service.

Reduce pressure on planning, communications and web teams

Producing route schedule PDFs can involve planning teams checking service information, communications teams preparing passenger content and designers or web teams formatting and publishing the final documents.

Ride Guide reduces repetitive layout and data-entry work by turning maintained GTFS data into passenger-ready PDFs. Your teams can spend less time rebuilding schedules and more time reviewing and communicating the changes that matter.
