Re: [datameet] Transit maps for informal public transit services

Hi Dhaval,

This thread on transit-developers forum is from 2012 but I think it
describes similar situations though the end-goal is different. I'll advise
you join the forum and post a reply there, there might be folks having
something to share:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/transit-developers/informal/transit-developers/pHtCu9B45dM/xQMW8sGZWbkJ

Relevant excerpt: *"  Informal stopping points – for buses and jeepneys the
whole route is *
*theoretically a stop, as the driver’s profit-maximisation incentive *
*means they respond to flag downs at any opportunity along their *
*designated route. "*

I would say that a good starting point would be to draw out the routes and
code+name them properly. I found geojson.io was quite sufficient for the
job.

We could then extend to mark hubs where they intersect or come close.

Next.. Fare formulas based on distance, or lump-sum.


Tanget : At some point I want to explore an idea of using geohashes (see
this  and this
) in this sector. (In this group we had
discussed plus codes earlier but I found this other open source algo that's
open source too and apparently produces even smaller codes.)

[datameet] Transit maps for informal public transit services

[Dhaval Shukla]

Hello

Has anyone here created or worked with informal transit- such as shared 
minibuses, jeeps, auto-rickshaws.

I want to start creating one for the shuttle rickshaws(shared 
auto-rickshaws) in Ahmedabad and would like to talk to anyone who has

Thanks
