Re: [datameet] 2200+ BMTC busstop locations
Thanks! I put together a map using the data - http://geohacker.in/bmtc/ You can search for bus stops and neighborhoods. The search uses the bus stops data and city level data from geonames.org There are couple of things that have to be fixed. But if you come across some issues or have ideas for new features, please file a tickethttps://github.com/geohacker/bmtc/issues/new. When we have the routes data, I can put that up and see if we can find directions easily. The code isn't too clean, but I'll make it alright - https://github.com/geohacker/bmtc Also, it's a bit slow initially because there are 2201 points coming into your browser. Will fix soon. Let me know what you think! Cheers, Sajjad On Mon, Feb 17, 2014 at 10:10 PM, Thejesh GN i...@thejeshgn.com wrote: I scraped BMTC site today for details. Now I have all the routes and bustop info.

Election data (Was: [datameet] [Bangalore] Open Data Camp 2014 Confirmed March 22nd and 23rd - Google Offices)
Hello everyone, Looks like there is lot of interest in extracting election data from PDFs. I've started extracting lot of data from voter lists, esp. for Bangalore. All the data is still sitting in my server. Couple of samples: http://d.anandology.com/karnataka/pdfs/AC154/AC1540111.json I started a project to put all these things in a good shape, expose them on a website with a nice API. https://github.com/anandology/opendata-ge2014 If any of you already working on such things, please let me know. There is no point duplicating each others efforts.

Re: [datameet] Re: 2200+ BMTC busstop locations
Good job Thej Sajjd on scraping BMTC stop route info from their website and presenting on OSM. But I am sure that if we count bus stations in Bangalore it will have 1000 stops more ( around 4000 in total ). So we need to find those missing ones. Google Map has better list of bus stations for Bangalore than BMTC. But unfortunately GMap does not provide API to get that information directly. I found a workaround where Google Local search provides bus stations in a given locality. So quite an amount on scrapping work can be done on Google Map itself to extract bus_stations. I will give try in spare time. On the live tracking point, BMTC already awarded a project last year to put tracking devices in all its fleet (6500+ buses). The project is expected to complete end of this year. In that case, if the system works well we can get the GPS logs of BMTC buses. This can help us both in live update and also accurate route and stop database building. Also BMTC has floated a tender for digitization of schedules. If this project is on, we can expect to get accurate bus stop, route and schedule information from BMTC. In fact, we can ask BMTC to publish their data in GTFS format which we can use to build services/solutions on top of it. Sajjad, What license are you asking about ? License to publish GTFS data ?

Re: [datameet] Re: 2200+ BMTC busstop locations
Hey, On Feb 19, 2014 10:34 AM, Suvajit suvajit.sengu...@gmail.com wrote: Good job Thej Sajjd on scraping BMTC stop route info from their website and presenting on OSM. But I am sure that if we count bus stations in Bangalore it will have 1000 stops more ( around 4000 in total ). So we need to find those missing ones. Google Map has better list of bus stations for Bangalore than BMTC. But unfortunately GMap does not provide API to get that information directly. I found a workaround where Google Local search provides bus stations in a given locality. So quite an amount on scrapping work can be done on Google Map itself to extract bus_stations. I will give try in spare time. Just a word of caution - this is against Google Maps / Search Terms of Service https://maps.google.com/help/terms_maps.html. Even if you scrape the data out we cannot use it in any meaningful way. On the live tracking point, BMTC already awarded a project last year to put tracking devices in all its fleet (6500+ buses). The project is expected to complete end of this year. In that case, if the system works well we can get the GPS logs of BMTC buses. This can help us both in live update and also accurate route and stop database building. Also BMTC has floated a tender for digitization of schedules. If this project is on, we can expect to get accurate bus stop, route and schedule information from BMTC. In fact, we can ask BMTC to publish their data in GTFS format which we can use to build services/solutions on top of it. Sajjad, What license are you asking about ? License to publish GTFS data ?
