semantic-metro-map-generator

Little web app that generates semantic metro maps out of GTFS data. Grabs the data from this GTFS API: semantic-metro-map-gtfs-api.herokuapp.com

Live demo on Heroku (runs with 1 dyno so first start could take a while)

You can use the generated SVG file to query routes with the semantic-metro-map tool.

Todos

• Use arrows as direction indicator
• Use shapes to draw correct routes instead of simple lines
• Use correct durations instead of random generated ones

Installation

1. Clone this repository: git clone git@github.com:gopeter/semantic-metro-map-generator.git
2. Create virtual env: virtualenv venv
3. Activate virtual env: source venv/bin/activate (do this for every new terminal session)
4. Install requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt
5. Start app: foreman start
6. Visit http://localhost:5000 and have fun!

Be aware: Just a proof of concept. No validations, no exception handling, no tests.

Note: to run this app locally, you have to start an instance of this GTFS API: node-gtfs. Or just change the url on the very top of the app.js file.
