If the city plans to introduce new rail/bus routes and I have the shapefiles for those - the lines, the stops - is it possible for me to introduce these non-GTFS data into the public transit network data set so that the service coverage analysis can also take into account the future transit lines and stops?</P> Fri, 02 Dec 2022 23:18:23 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-network-analyst-questions/network-dataset-for-future-transit-lines/m-p/1237468#M8101 Sleetch 2022-12-02T23:18:23Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-network-analyst-questions/network-dataset-for-future-transit-lines/m-p/1237472#M8102 <P>If the only thing you have is shapefiles of bus stops and lines, then no, not really.&nbsp; A GTFS dataset contains a lot more information than the stops and lines.&nbsp; It also includes all the schedules, and you would need all that schedule information as well.</P><P>If the city can provide you with an updated GTFS dataset that includes the changes, then that's definitely the easiest way.</P><P>Your only other option is to attempt to manually edit or create the public transit data model tables associated with the updates.&nbsp; You would need to be pretty meticulous about getting all the new data to relate properly in the data model tables.&nbsp; Here is the documentation:&nbsp;<A href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/analysis/networks/transit-data-model.htm" target="_blank">https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/analysis/networks/transit-data-model.htm</A></P> Fri, 02 Dec 2022 23:58:18 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-network-analyst-questions/network-dataset-for-future-transit-lines/m-p/1237472#M8102 MelindaMorang 2022-12-02T23:58:18Z
