Like Suvajit pointed out, there are bus stops missing from the dataset. For example when I looked at Sajjad's map, I found that on Tumkur Road between Gorguntepalya and Jalahalli Cross, not a single bus stop was marked(I think there are atleast 3). Can we possibly have something like http://pin

Hi Sajjad, I propose to use Google API itself to extract some information. How is this violating G M terms of service ? But it is subject to test whether really we can scrape out good data from it or not. Regards, Suvajit On Wednesday, February 19, 2014 11:11:22 AM UTC+5:30, Sajjad Anwar wr

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 fo

I was going through the BMTC technical document to implement Expected Time of Arrival (ETA) for Buses in Bangalore. Scrapping real-time data would be more fun. if they won`t give API`s On Tue, Feb 18, 2014 at 7:24 PM, Meera wrote: > If anybody want to develop any public data tools/widgets like

If anybody want to develop any public data tools/widgets like bus routes - we can embed it on bangalore.citizenmatters.in/data-tools as objects. It can help general junta to access it easily. -Meera On Tue, Feb 18, 2014 at 5:53 PM, Sajjad Anwar wrote: > OSM allows gtfs tags - > http://wiki.ope

OSM allows gtfs tags - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/General_Transit_Feed_Specification Since GTFS is a widely accepted standard. I'm asking some friends at OSM about uploading the bus stop data to the repository. Since we scraped it there might be a challenge. Do you know what license BMTC p
