Re: [datameet] BMTC ITS Inauguration | ITC Windsor Hotel | 07.30pm | Today

[srinivas kodali]

I don't know if BMTC shared data with xerox at all. Either way if you want
the data, it is already public on their github account
https://github.com/xerox-urbanhack/gtfs-data They released it for  a
hackathon last year with some API's. The best part is they licensed it open
already. It is not perfect, but feel free to use it.

https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/he-public-data/Xerox-BMTC-UrbanHack%20-%20Data%20and%20API88c873e.pdf

The data is not perfect. But it should be helpful to check it out. I will
look into this app and see if they are using any official API's from BMTC.

 Anyone interested to do your own analysis, visualization are welcome to
 share the results to be forwarded to BMTC.

 I am waiting to get all the buses come online, to make a GTFS, GTFS-RT
 based on dynamic schedules based on traffic patterns through the GPS data.
 Right now the schedules are real bad.

Re: [datameet] BMTC ITS Inauguration | ITC Windsor Hotel | 07.30pm | Today

[H. S. Sudhira]

I agree. My concern is also that private players are able access these and
the data is not made 'public'. If BMTC is allowing api access to Xerox,
what prohibits them to make it public?

I am sure if they make it open, there will be more players and it will lead
to more innovation and offer a better playing field than a few select
organisations having access.

I did ask Xerox folks to share the data and it was negative. They want to
hold it and do some analytics on them.

I am sure most of us are interested in understanding the dynamics :)

Cheers, Sudhira.

it's no different from Google Maps, There are at-least 10 other apps which
do this already for bangalore or waiting to enter the market. Moovit,
Zophop, Riddlr, Raft, Trafi,CityMapper all have trip planners already. But
the main issue is real-time data. When the raw data itself is wrong and not
being maintained the right way, all this apps will be useless.

Anyway, My interest is more in understanding the dynamics of cities than
these apps.

Here is a dump of the some GPS data, I was mining. There are several issues
with bmtc, buses with same numbers in different routes at same time. Zero
fares for few airport routes. Overall it will need at-least 2 more months
for things to get fixed.

So I received a reply from the IT Director, they said they will look into
these issues we highlighted and at the same time I awaiting a reply on
questions related to the system. Their plans of a data policy is being

Here is a crawler & bus-stops data in multiple formats. Not all the bus
routes have GPS devices. After checking out all the routes, the ones which
were giving responses, i included that in the routes file. Still working on
things. If you suggestions, post it in the hackpad before tomorrow noon.

BMTC is gonna have a meeting in a week, to asses the functionality & issues
