# AddTransit

AddTransit is a cloud-based transit management platform that helps transport operators — including public transit agencies, shuttle bus companies, airlines, ferries, steam railways, and tour operators — manage schedules, sell tickets online, track vehicles in real time, and publish routes to Google Maps and transit apps via GTFS.

## Products

- GTFS Editor: Create, edit and host GTFS (General Transit Feed Specification) files to get your routes and schedules onto Google Maps, Apple Maps, and hundreds of transit apps worldwide.
- Real-Time Status Updates: Publish live service alerts, delays, and cancellations to passengers via GTFS-Realtime feeds.
- Vehicle Tracking: Track your fleet of buses, trains, ferries or aircraft in real time on a live map.
- Online Ticketing: Sell bus, train, ferry, and tour tickets online with a fully branded booking engine. Supports reservations and seat selection.
