Public Transport
What is GTFS?
GTFS is a common format for public transport schedule and network data. For Route Wars, the useful parts are simple: routes, stops, stop order, coordinates, and patterns that can be turned into a playable route catalogue.
Why it matters to the game
Without structured route data, Route Wars would need hand-made city maps. GTFS makes it possible to add cities through an import pipeline and validate that each route has enough stops to be playable.
What it does not do by itself
GTFS is not a privacy policy, a live journey planner, or a guarantee that every route is fun. Route Wars still needs import checks, gameplay tuning, and clear player-facing explanations.
