Abstract
The data descriptor introduces an open, high-resolution dataset of real-world bus operations in Astana, Kazakhstan, captured from GPS trajectories between July and September 2024. The data covers three high-frequency routes and have been processed into a GTFS format, enabling direct use with existing transit modeling tools. Unlike typical static GTFS feeds, this dataset provides empirically observed dwell times, run times, and travel times, offering a detailed snapshot of operational variability in urban bus systems. The dataset supports applications in machine learning–based travel time prediction, timetable optimization, and transit reliability analysis, especially in settings where live feeds are unavailable. By releasing this dataset publicly, we aim to promote transparent, data-driven transport research in emerging urban contexts.
