All:
I have recently acquired the latest bus timetables, route information, and index of stop
and location names from the transport planning wing of the BEST, which can be downloaded
on
http://freemap.in/data/best_transport in dbf format. If anyone in the community is
interested in developing further applications with this database, please get in touch with
me off list. In collaboration with BEST, a group of us are attempting to build a free (as
in beer and speech) map-based transport information system, which will connect this route
database to the Mumbai Free Map on
http://mumbai.freemap.in -- we need volunteers with GPS
devices to help us geo-reference the bus shelters and routes in their localities, as well
as help in project development. I can be reached on this e-mail, or drop by #crit.org.in
on
irc.freenode.net.
Best,
S.K.
