Integrate Everett Transit realtime data #21

Open bbodenmiller opened 9 years ago

bbodenmiller commented 9 years ago

Everett Transit recently launched a text message and phone call based system called Everett Transit Arrivals. It'd be great if Sound Transit could work with them to get access to that data in a machine readable way so it can be integrated with OneBusAway and published as GTFS-RT for other developers. Since they have a bus tracking system it seems it would just be a matter of figuring out how to convert data formats.

Currently, per my conversations with Everett Transit, the real-time data is in a closed system with no way to get it out. They are investigating the possibility of a contract modification to allow the data to be streamed from the system. If that happens, it will be integrated into Open Transit Data / OneBusAway.

Thanks, Michael
