Hello,

I noticed there were a couple threads from 2013 regarding a single location where agencies GTFS-RT (or even other formats) were stored.
Does anybody know if there has been progress over the years for this?

A location showing individual agencies would be great - but does anybody know of data providers (similar to OBA, NextBus, TransLoc, etc.) that gather RT data and you can receive this all from the one provider?

I have gathered information from OBA, NextBus, TransitFeeds, etc. already. 

Any help would be great! 

Best,
Jacob

Another example of something that would be very valuable is information about companies like ITO World in the UK: http://www.itoworld.com/ito-transit-data/ 
This is one location where you could obtain RT data for all UK rail.

Other than Joachim's TransiCast I'm not aware of an centralized entity that's aggregating a large number of real-time feeds.  TransitFeeds.com (http://transitfeeds.com/search?q=gtfsrt) is the next closest, but from my last look they are only grabbing the most recent data, not archiving long-term historical data.  It's something we're working on at USF but don't have fully operationalized yet.  But, if you want archived data we have some for a few agencies we could share.

Thanks for the name-check Jacob.  To yours and Sean's comments Ito World is a global aggregator of real-time and scheduled transit feeds.  We also archive historical data.  Our coverage extends way beyond the UK, across Europe, North America, Australasia and more.  If you'd like to know more about our services you can contact us here: http://www.itoworld.com/contact/ or via rick....@itoworld.com.
