These feeds are created from open data files published by the transit-agencies under an open license. We convert the data from the NDOV "Koppelvlakken" to GTFS. There is a symlink always pointing at the latest GTFS file available.

If you download the gtfs-nl.zip file in the root folder you will get a complete coverage of the Netherlands.
The feed is symlinked to the gtfs-nl.zip in the /NL folder, where you can find the GTFS-RT feeds with real time information on this feed.

---
The govi feed is an integrated feed of the Bus/Tram/Metro/Ferry in the Netherlands, but it has partial coverage. These feed has a KV8 real time stream available, which is suitable for conversion to GTFS-RT.

The openov-nl feed is the same as the GTFS-NL feed except on request of Open-OV we excluded the AVV and Thalys schedules.

TECHNICAL USAGE POLICY

Due some excessive use of this service due we have implemented a usage policy which we are happy to share with you.

1) Identify in the User-Agent header who you are, this helps us to contact you. This ultimately allows us to offer this service without registration and contact you in case of wrong doing.
2) Implement HTTP Headers such as If-Modified-Since and/or If-None-Match if your implementation thinks we offer updates more frequently than once a minute, and you want to implement the Niquist-frequency.
3) We rarely update our schedules more than daily and our new operational day starts at 03AM UTC. We take special measurements to maximize the stability of trip_ids between schedules to assure a grace period.
