Plans for India - Githubissues

I don't see any coverage for India. I would like to do that. I would like to start, but I don't have any open source experience. If I have some help, India should be an interesting case to crack.

Check the homepage for possible ways to get started: https://transportr.app/contribute/#translating-into-your-language

@grote English should be fine for now. Is there nothing else needed? I don't see India in the covered regions.

grote commented 6 years ago

Sorry, I don't get your question. Did you read the section on the homepage about "Adding Support For More Regions"?

ninad458 commented 6 years ago

Yes. It's more like a query. Will it cover automatically if people from that area start using it?

grote commented 6 years ago

I don't get would you mean by "cover automatically".

In order:

See if all the desired transit information is known to Navitia.
If not in Navitia find where the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) information can be downloaded for each transit agency that is to be added to Navitia.
For each feed, you need to find the license and verify it is compatible with Navitia's license requirements.
Submit the feeds to Navitia.

All of the above requires no programming experience at all. Once Navitia is tracking the transit agencies you need to:

Add support for the transit agencies' information to the Public Transport Enabler. This requires some programming knowledge but there are easy examples to follow.
Once support is added to Public Transport Enabler, a pull request for changes to Transportr is required. Again this requires some programming but there are easy examples to follow.

I thought all of the above was pretty evident from the page Torsten linked but apparently not.

If you wish, I can help with the last two programming steps once you do the foot work of assuring the schedule information is in Navitia.

@n76 thanks a lot for expanding on my explanation! I think this is even a bit more detailed than what is on the homepage. Would be great if you could do a PR to add it there: https://github.com/grote/Transportr-website/blob/master/content/contribute.md#adding-support-for-more-regions-add_region

ninad458 commented 6 years ago

@n76 that does clarify it, thank you. I'll look into the initial steps.

AFAIK only Kochi metro feed (https://kochimetro.org/open-data/) and Delhi bus feed are published openly (https://otd.delhi.gov.in)
