Description of available data and a few STM specifications

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

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

This information is in the file Calendar_dates.txt in the GTFS

On legal holidays, the STM assigns a Saturday or Sunday value to each bus line, according to level of service being provided. Other public transit operators assign a single value to all bus lines on a given holiday.

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:

  1. Agency.txt : Basic information about the STM
  2. Stops.txt : List of bus stops
  3. Routes.txt : List of bus lines
  4. Trips.txt : Information about trip schedules

  8. Fare_rules.txt : Explains different fares for regular service and airport shuttle
  9. Shapes.txt : Definition of rules for drawing a bus line itinerary on map
  10. Frequencies.txt : Defines the frequency of metro service
