General Transit Feed Specification → GTFS – While GTFS currently standing for General Transit Feed Specification is accurate per the spec, it seems to be far more commonly referred to as GTFS. Currently GTFS redirects to here, so there are no issues with usurpation. This seems to be generally the more commonly used name. TartarTorte 01:34, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Support - Trends doesn't come up with much (although GTFS makes it on the map while "General Transit Feed Specification" doesn't at all), but google news searches for "GTFS" + transit (to weed out other uses, hopefully) seems to return many more hits than "General Transit Feed Specification", and it seems reasonable that the abbreviation would be more commonly used in general.

Incorrect mandatory files?

The "calendar.txt", "stops.txt" files are marked as Conditionally Required in the official GTFS manual. The wikipedia page currently says they are mandatory, which is technically incorrect. Fbarbe (talk) 12:58, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
