From Raw GPS to GTFS: A Real-World Open Dataset for Bus Travel Time Prediction
Open accessAbstract
The data descriptor introduces an open, high-resolution dataset of real-world bus operations in Astana, Kazakhstan, captured from GPS trajectories between July and September 2024. The data covers three high-frequency routes and have been processed into a GTFS format, enabling direct use with existing transit modeling tools. Unlike typical static GTFS feeds, this dataset provides empirically observed dwell times, run times, and travel times, offering a detailed snapshot of operational variability in urban bus systems. The dataset supports applications in machine learning–based travel time prediction, timetable optimization, and transit reliability analysis, especially in settings where live feeds are unavailable. By releasing this dataset publicly, we aim to promote transparent, data-driven transport research in emerging urban contexts.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
