explore_gtfs: Explore GTFS Data in an Interactive Shiny Dashboard

In GTFSwizard: Creating, Exploring, and Manipulating GTFS Files

Explore GTFS Data in an Interactive Shiny Dashboard

Description

Opens a lightweight Shiny dashboard for exploring a GTFS feed. The dashboard shows summary cards, route and stop maps, planning indicators, service calendars, operational charts, and corridor and hub views. Route, service, service-pattern, stop, date, and time filters update the dashboard without changing the original object. Edits and exports operate on an in-memory copy.

Usage

explore_gtfs(gtfs = NULL, plotly = FALSE)

Arguments

gtfs	A GTFS object, preferably of class 'wizardgtfs'. When omitted or 'NULL' in an interactive session, a file-selection window opens so the user can choose a GTFS '.zip' archive.
plotly	Logical. If 'TRUE', eligible dashboard charts are rendered as interactive plotly widgets. The calendar and trip-duration boxplot remain static because conversion reduces their readability. 'plotly' is optional and only required when this argument is 'TRUE'.

Value

A Shiny app object.
