Timetables of major government operated (or commissioned) national-level public transport services (specifically bus and train). The focus here is on national level services (not those which operate only at a municipal or city level and which are not controlled or regulated by the national government). A 'yes' in any question will refer to both types of transport. However, if there is no national level service operated or regulated by the government for a given type of transport (for instance busses), then this type is ignored in this data category. Data submitted in this category should meet the following minimum criteria:
- Time of operating
- Time of leaving first station and arriving to the last station
- Updated at least once a year
Data Location
Comments
National rail company (NMBS/ SNCB) have made their static traindata (timetables) available as shared data. You need to follow procedure and sign of on a one on one contract before being able to use it. See: https://www.belgianrail.be/nl/klantendienst/faq/public-data.aspx
However a 3rd party group iRail has made this data available for the general public, machine readable as well as in bulk, both GTFS and GTFS-RT (real-time) under an open license. Thanks to the European database law, public transit schedules are not copyrighted. Therefore the data is free for anyone to use, reuse and redistribute.
Review note: data is available upon request, therefore it is not publicly available.
