Explore GTFS Data in an Interactive Shiny Dashboard

Source: R/explore_gtfs.R
explore_gtfs.Rd

Opens a lightweight Shiny dashboard for exploring a GTFS feed. The dashboard shows summary cards, route and stop maps, planning indicators, service calendars, operational charts, and corridor and hub views. Route, service, service-pattern, stop, date, and time filters update the dashboard without changing the original object. Edits and exports operate on an in-memory copy.

Usage

explore_gtfs(gtfs = NULL, plotly = FALSE)

Arguments

gtfs

A GTFS object, preferably of class `wizardgtfs`. When omitted or `NULL` in an interactive session, a file-selection window opens so the user can choose a GTFS `.zip` archive.

plotly

Logical. If `TRUE`, eligible dashboard charts are rendered as interactive plotly widgets. The calendar and trip-duration boxplot remain static because conversion reduces their readability. `plotly` is optional and only required when this argument is `TRUE`.

Value

A Shiny app object.
