License Template / Lizenz Vorlage

  • I have read the license requirements in the README and I am sure that my contribution is compliant with the license requirements.
  • I have checked my contribution for syntax errors

Country / Land

United States / Washington / King County

License / Lizenz

  1. King County is triple licensed under King County's agreement, Sound Transit's data agreement, and also "public domain" according to King County's own data page. Going with the King County TOS out of caution.
  1. General Sound Transit Transit Data Terms of Use https://www.soundtransit.org/help-contacts/business-information/open-transit-data-otd/transit-data-terms-use

Source / Quelle

Various links as found on Sound Transit's download page.

Notes / Anmerkungen

  • King County's agreement is an unclear mess with King County's own terms being the strictest.
  • Sound Transit is a centralized publisher for various agencies in the King County region. This covers multiple agencies as noted on their downloads page.
  1. King County Metro: https://www.soundtransit.org/GTFS-KCM/google_transit.zip
  2. Pierce: https://www.soundtransit.org/GTFS-PT/gtfs.zip
  3. Intercity: https://gtfs.sound.obaweb.org/prod/19_gtfs.zip
  4. Community Transit: https://www.soundtransit.org/GTFS-CT/current.zip
  5. Sound Transit: https://www.soundtransit.org/GTFS-rail/40_gtfs.zip
  6. Washington State Ferries: https://gtfs.sound.obaweb.org/prod/95_gtfs.zip
  7. Seattle Center Monorail: https://gtfs.sound.obaweb.org/prod/96_gtfs.zip
  8. Everett Transit: https://gtfs.sound.obaweb.org/prod/97_gtfs.zip
  9. Kitsap Transit: https://gtfs.sound.obaweb.org/prod/20_gtfs.zip
  • Note that Seattle Center Monorail is not listed as part of the Transitous dataset despite the GTFS existing. The monorail is such a meme in the region but it is worth adding for those that do take it.

@MrKrisKrisu Apologies for the ping but I am hoping to get this released by next week so that the 03/28 crosslake rail opening can be checked in on without manual data entry. Let me know if everything looks good here.
