I'm working with GTFS structure for the first time and am having trouble with the queries. I've got the transit data into mysql tables, and am free to query them, but I feel like I'm doing far too many queries and for loops to get the simplest info.
What I'd like to get in a single query is all the departure times and arrival times between two known stops, possibly identified by name.
Here is what I have so far, which involves a query, followed by looping through each trip_id to find the departure and arrival station info + times.
Query 1:
Show all departure times from a particular origin station, going in a particular direction. Result will give departure times and trip_ids.
SELECT t.trip_id, trip_headsign, departure_time, direction_id, s.stop_name
FROM stops s, routes r, stop_times st, calendar c, trips t
WHERE departure_time > "00:00:00" and departure_time < "23:59:59"
AND r.route_id=1 and s.stop_id = 42
AND s.stop_id = st.stop_id
AND st.trip_id = t.trip_id
AND c.service_id = t.service_id
AND c.monday=1 and direction_id=1;
Result
+---------+---------------+----------------+--------------+-----------+
| trip_id | trip_headsign | departure_time | direction_id | stop_name |

Query 2:
Give me all the stops on a particular trip along with their arrival times, use trip_id from last query:
SELECT s.stop_id,stop_lat, stop_lon, stop_name, arrival_time, stop_sequence
FROM stop_times st JOIN stops s ON s.stop_id=st.stop_id
WHERE trip_id=5671521;
Result

What I'd really like is a list of departure times and arrival times between two stops, such as this theorized result:
+---------+----------------+----------------+-----------+---------------+--------------+
| trip_id | departure_stop | departure_time | direction | arrival_stop | arrival_time |
+---------+----------------+----------------+-----------+---------------+--------------+
| 5671521 | Garrison | 08:03:00 | 1 | Grand Central | 09:22:00 |
| 5671522 | Garrison | 08:32:00 | 1 | Grand Central | 09:51:00 |
...etc...
simply joining data together, joining to stops twice for start and end stop and joining to stop_times twice for start and end stop_times,
the only thing i am unsure about is where direction_id comes from.
try the below query.
At the very end of the query, you can specify start_s.stop_id and end_s.stop_id which represents the two stops you're querying data about.
SELECT t.trip_id,
start_s.stop_name as departure_stop,
start_st.departure_time,
direction_id as direction,
end_s.stop_name as arrival_stop,
end_st.arrival_time
FROM
trips t INNER JOIN calendar c ON t.service_id = c.service_id
INNER JOIN routes r ON t.route_id = r.route_id
INNER JOIN stop_times start_st ON t.trip_id = start_st.trip_id
INNER JOIN stops start_s ON start_st.stop_id = start_s.stop_id
INNER JOIN stop_times end_st ON t.trip_id = end_st.trip_id
INNER JOIN stops end_s ON end_st.stop_id = end_s.stop_id
WHERE c.monday = 1
AND direction_id = 1
AND start_st.departure_time > "00:00:00" AND start_st.departure_time < "23:59:59"
AND r.route_id = 1
AND start_s.stop_id = 42
AND end_s.stop_id = 1
I tried looking up GTFS structure example from this link and i couldn't find anything on direction_id
To specify stop names instead of AND start_s.stop_id = 42 AND end_s.stop_id = 1
just use AND start_s.stop_name = 'Garrison' AND end_s.stop_name = 'Grand Central'
