The STM is making it possible for developers to download its bus and metro schedules in the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) format. This document describes the available data and a few STM specifications.
You must also review the legal notes defining the rules and context for using this data. For example, it is strictly forbidden to use the company logo without permission from the STM. You can consult these legal notes by clicking here.
STM data includes the following specifications:
For bus schedules
Schedules are for weekdays, Saturday, Sunday or legal holidays:
- Weekday service (Assignment list identifier code + S): Monday – Friday
- Saturday service (Assignment list identifier code + A): Saturday
- Sunday service (Assignment list identifier code + I): Sunday
- Holiday service (Assignment list identifier code + F1 or F2 or F3 or F4): Legal holidays
For metro schedules
Metro schedules are provided by way of indication only and are essentially used to determine how long a trip will take. They cannot be used to develop an application for metro timetables, as they are only used to estimate the time needed to travel between two stations.
GTFS_stm.zip contains the following files:
- Agency.txt : Basic information about the STM
- Stops.txt : List of bus stops
- Routes.txt : List of bus lines
- Trips.txt : Information about trip schedules
- Stop_times.txt : Schedule of arrival times at bus stops
- Calendar_dates.txt : List of days included in assignment period
- Fare_attributes.txt : List of various STM fares
- Fare_rules.txt : Explains different fares for regular service and airport shuttle
- Shapes.txt : Definition of rules for drawing a bus line itinerary on map
- Frequencies.txt : Defines the frequency of metro service
