Usage

explore_gtfs(gtfs)

Arguments

gtfs	A GTFS object, preferably of class 'wizardgtfs'. If not, the function attempts to convert it to 'wizardgtfs' using 'GTFSwizard::as_wizardgtfs()'.

Details

The Shiny application generated by this function has two main tabs: - **Overview**: Displays general GTFS information, maps, and summary charts of the transit system, including frequency, fleet, speed, and other statistics. - **By Route**: Allows users to select specific routes and view detailed maps and visualizations for each selected route.

If the provided 'gtfs' object does not contain a 'shapes' table, it will attempt to add it using 'GTFSwizard::get_shapes()', issuing a warning
