The information provided through data feeds includes static schedule and service data using an open standard.

GTFS Feed
This dataset includes all King County Metro bus, Seattle Streetcar and King County Water Taxi service as well as Sound Transit Link light rail service and some but not all Sound Transit Express Regional bus service.

Files include: agency.txt, calendar_dates.txt, calendar.txt, fare_attributes.txt, fare_rules.txt, routes.txt, shapes.txt, stop_times.txt, stops.txt, trips.txt
