Route details and maps from a TransXChange file
Upload a TXC file and get every route it describes: stop sequence, distances, operating dates and journeys — drawn on a map along the real road alignment, and downloadable as GeoJSON, CSV, GPX or KML.
Where the road alignment comes from
Most TXC carries only a stop sequence, which is why route maps so often show
buses cutting across fields in straight lines. Where a file's
RouteLinks carry Track geometry — as Optibus-exported
files do — this reads it, and the route follows the roads exactly.
Each route says which it got. A route marked track is surveyed alignment; mixed or stops only means some or all of it is straight lines between stops, and is labelled as such rather than passed off as the real thing.
Need this data in your own app?
The TXC viewer is a free tool from TransCAPI, a transport data API for Great Britain and Ireland. Bus timetables and stops, live departures and vehicle positions, rail, journey planning, fares and disruptions, as plain JSON over HTTPS. No TransXChange to parse.
