GTFS Realtime feeds have been provided by the Victoria Department of Transport and Planning to provide realtime updates about Public Transport services. It contains feeds about:

Trip Updates - delays, cancellations, changed routes Service Alerts - stop moved, unforeseen events affecting a station, route or the entire network Vehicle Positions - information about the vehicles including location and congestion level

Please note these feeds are provided in the Protocol Buffer format and are not human readable. For more information refer to this GTFS Realtime page (https://gtfs.org/realtime/) which is maintained by MobilityData (https://mobilitydata.org/) and facilitates the GTFS and GTFS-R specification. Summary of Changes GTFS-R - Trip Updates - Metro Train: Schedule Relationships, Stop ID, and Route ID have been added as additional fields to enhance real-time trip accuracy.  GTFS-R - Vehicle Positions - Metro Train: Route ID added as a Conditionally Required field to improve data details.  GTFS-R - Service Alerts - Metro Train: Additional information about planned and unplanned disruptions have been added to include more details about delays and bus replacement services. Route ID and Direction ID are two new fields that have been added also.  Why are these changes being made? These changes are being made to:
