The TransXChange is a UK nationwide system for exchanging bus schedules. It is used both for the electronic registration of bus routes with the Vehicle Operating Services Agency (VOSA), and for the exchange of bus routes with other systems such as journey planners and real-time tracking systems.

There are two closely related but distinct TransXChange XML schemas:

  • A Registration schema for registering a bus timetable. This includes mandatory elements.
  • A General schema for exchanging bus timetable data between systems of all sorts.

This document is the general schema.
