Hello all,

I've generated an unofficial GTFS dataset for Namma Metro services operated 
by BMRCL in Bengaluru. The GTFS data, code and related documentation can be 
found on https://github.com/Vonter/bmrcl-gtfs

The GTFS is generated using spatial data from OpenStreetMap and timetable 
images published by BMRCL on their official website: 
https://www.bmrc.co.in/metro-timings/

Since the information that BMRCL publishes does not contain the stop times 
at individual stations (only contains trip headways at a high level), it 
can't be used to find the exact time of arrival or departure of a specific 
trip/train at a specific station. Approximate modeling of dwell times, 
train speed and section-wise speeds have been used to calculate arrival and 
departure times of specific trains at specific stations in the GTFS. This 
is sufficient for most use cases, but if a particular use case requires 
trip-level or minute-level accuracy, this GTFS may not be accurate enough. 
More details are documented under the caveat section on the repository: 
https://github.com/Vonter/bmrcl-gtfs#caveat

As a widely used standard, GTFS has lots of tooling built around it. One 
convenient way to open and view this GTFS data for Namma Metro is the 
browser-based Transit Lens tool (works better on Desktop than Mobile):
