The GTFS its just the schedule?

[Jhonatan Santofimio]

Is it just the schedule of the places where the bus or subway are supposed to be? Or is it really the GPS of the bus location?

Indeed supposed to be, based on departure and arrival times. Can be used
to visualize data, because also the shapes/routes of the vehicles may be
present.

Currently referred to as GTFS Static.

This would be GTFS RT or Real Time, specificly: vehiclePositions.pb.
