Updates to Metro Trains GTFS-R Service Alerts data feed

We've made improvements to the Metro Trains GTFS Realtime Service Alerts data feed, including:

• Information about planned and unplanned disruptions has been improved to include details about delays and bus replacement services.
• Route ID and Direction ID have been added as Additional Fields for better real-time trip information.

These changes have been made so passengers can make decisions about their journeys using the right information, at the right time, when there are disruptions to metro train services.

Please note: the information in the current ‘Required’ data fields remains the same and data feeds continue to follow the global standards and specifications.

This change is being made as part of the Public Transport Data Program. For more information, email: PTdataprogram@transport.vic.gov.au
