[Talk-in] BusRoutes.in

[Arun Ganesh]

Jace, to make it as usable as the Chennai
version<http://busroutes.in/chennai/route/25G/>,
not much. Just a simple database with [Route, Stage1, Stage2 ...
StageN]<http://mtcbus.org/Routes.asp?cboRouteCode=S25G&submit=Search>for
each route.

But then to be quite honest, although the site is informative, i wouldnt
rate it very high as an effective planning tool. Its not possible to give
usable route suggestions without factoring in scheduling/frequency data.

And right now, OSM is just used as a background layer, what would really be
awesome if we could make use of the OSM data itself to make things more
powerful. I think we have shifted to postgresql, so this might be possible
if there is someone willing to help out with the coding. The site is powered
by django/python and the source is available at
http://github.com/yuvipanda/wtfimb/network

If anyone wants to have a go at hacking, do let me know.
