ART Bus Schedules Website

This repo uses the open source node library gtfs-to-html (https://gtfstohtml.com/) to generate a static website of the ART bus schedules by leveraging the city's GTFS data. The website is currently hosted with AWS Amplify in the custom-dev account. Committing changes to this repo will automatically trigger a redeployment of the Amplify distribution.

The config.json file contains both the permanent url for downloading the GTFS data (hosted by Trillium Transit), as well as urls for accessing realtime vehicle locations and trip updates from Swiftly. The realtime API that fetches the vehicle and trip data from Swiftly is located in the following repo, https://github.com/cityofasheville/art-real-time-api.
