To use this component in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

Finding Feeds

Transit Feeds is a fairly good source for realtime gtfs feeds. Search for your city, and then look for a feed that is tagged with 'GTFS-RealTime'. There should be an 'official url' in the side bar that you can use. Routes and stops can be found by clicking on the regular gtfs feed, and finding the id for the stop you are interested in. Please feel free to message me or open an issue if you find other good sources.
