NeTEx to GTFS Converter

This tool converts NeTEx XML files (Level 1 and Level 2) into a GTFS feed.

Usage

Run the script from the command line using Python:

python netex_to_gtfs.py --netexlvl1 <path_to_level1_xml> --netexlvl2 <path_to_level2_xml> [--output <output_directory>] [--zip]

Arguments

• --netexlvl1: Path to the Level 1 NeTEx XML file (Required).
• --netexlvl2: Path to the Level 2 NeTEx XML file (Required).
• --output: Directory where the GTFS files will be generated. Default is gtfs_output.
• --zip: If present, zips the output directory into a .zip file.

Example

python netex_to_gtfs.py --netexlvl1 IT-ITI4-0083_L1.xml --netexlvl2 IT-ITI4-0083_L2.xml --zip

Output

The script generates the following GTFS files in the output directory:

• agency.txt
• stops.txt
• routes.txt
• trips.txt
• stop_times.txt
• calendar_dates.txt
• shapes.txt (if shape data is available)
• feed_info.txt

Features

• Progress Tracking: Visual progress bars for parsing and processing steps.
• Optimization: Efficiently handles large XML files using iterative parsing.
• Validation Fixes: Includes logic to handle midnight crossings, deduplicate trips, and filter unused stops.
• Zipping: Automatically zips the output for easy distribution.

Requirements

• Python 3.x (Standard library only, no external dependencies)
