---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Surya Kandukuri <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Dec 6, 2018 at 4:36 PM TSRTC is one of largest transit agencies with one of the densest networks in the country. A complex coordination between 4,749 buses across 29 depots are carried out every day to help 3.3 million commuters navigate across urban and peri-urban parts of the city. In an attempt to create an ecosystem that enables ground-up innovations and interventions to make services of TSRTC more accessible, the Telangana Open Data Unit and the WRI have been engaged with the agency over the last eight months in a mammoth effort to open its commuter facing data in GTFS. As a part of this initiative, we have been working with the IT department and depot representatives to document, clean, map and comprehend different data sets and understand how services are planned. Prior attempts to digitize bus data by other stakeholders have been extremely useful and informed much of our thinking. We now have a repository of more than 2 Lakh stop entries (with repeats) and 7000 geospatial points. We think we have a rich source of data that is current and comprehensive, but there lies much work ahead. We would like to invite members of GIS community for a sit-down and brainstorming session where we can share our experience and learnings from this exercise and seek for more collaborative ideas to organize this data and create a reliable comprehensive database that can be made open. We would like to especially invite folks who have worked in a professional capacity in mapping urban transport. Hyderabad is India's hub of geospatial industry and we would love for more brains to help with this exercise When: 9th December 2018, 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM Where: Swecha Foundation, Gachibowli What do you need? - Basic understanding of mapping, GIS - Familiarity with places in and around Hyderabad - Laptops (If Possible) For any queries, please reach out to Nikhil @ +91 9665831250 Surya @ +91 9633214289 ============================================================ -- Datameet is a community of Data Science enthusiasts in India.
