Google Transit - RTA integration #4

Open DavidEBest opened 10 years ago

DavidEBest commented 10 years ago

The Google Maps API provides easy access to bus routes if the locality publishes the information (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/layers#TransitLayer). This could really cut down on the amount of work we have to do (plus help future projects) if the Dayton RTA could follow the procedure here: http://maps.google.com/help/maps/mapcontent/transit/participate.html

@leighsandy any word from RTA yet? They could follow Dave++'s suggestion and help out a lot of commuters in the process.

Assigned this to Leigh right now.

hank trimble at the rta is working with google transit to upload the content. the information submitted to google is located at http://proc.greaterdaytonrta.org/gtfs/google_transit.zip and might be something we can integrate on the mvp or just wait until google and rta work through things.
