Unveiling Kochi's Transport Landscape
summary
Kochi public transport gets a ground-truthed open dataset: a three‑month, community-driven mapping effort converts messy government records and field GPS traces into published GTFS and OSM relations, mapping ~2,245 km across a 750 km² area, about 20,782 bus stops and 471 unique routes. Field work uses aome tracker, JOSM with JungleBus plugin, ISM Transit extractor and asm2 gtfs; project overcomes bureaucratic secrecy and COVID disruption and produces reusable open data.
