help crowd-source open public transport data #9

Open derhuerst opened 6 years ago

derhuerst commented 6 years ago

There are many JS libraries and general tools available for working with the VBB GTFS data. But having additional (crowd-sourced) data will eventually help make public transportation in Berlin more accessible and convenient.

A few data sets we've started collecting:

repo description tasks to be done
vbb-change-positions Database of station-specific platform positions for changes between VBB metro, suburban and regional lines. contribute more stations & lines, see contributing
vbb-osm-relations VBB lines, platforms and station entrances and their OSM relations. update the list
vbb-stations-with-wifi  All VBB stations with free wifi.  Is the list up-to-date?
vbb-platform-patterns  Database of VBB station platform wall (tile) color patterns.  Contribute more stations!
vbb-station-photos Photos of every subway station in Berlin. add missing stations, cover S-Bahn as well
vbb-common-places This is a collection of aliases for common stations (like "zoo", "alex", "kotti") to make the search better. add more entries
vbb-station-operators Which operator services a Berlin public transport station? add more stations, e.g. in Brandenburg

I think it might also make sense to add umsteigen.jetzt by @juliuste. It has a lot of potential, but needs more research backing the numbers in the calculation. We should document this.
