The Faux Streets Of San Francisco


The Transit Map of San Francisco MTA is a real-time faux map of San Francisco's bus, streetcar, too subway scheme services, based on the MTA timetables. The map animates the movements of the city's buses, streetcars too subway scheme trains on a Google Map.

The vehicle movements on the map are determined yesteryear the timetables provided inward the GTFS dataset of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. The map industrial plant yesteryear plugging the city's  GTFS dataset into Vasile Cotovanu's Transit Map library.

Vasile has likewise released the code for the GTFS plug-in equally well. The code converts a prepare of GTFS files into a SQLite database too the GeoJSONs needed yesteryear the Transit Map library. So if you lot desire to practise your ain faux animated map of a city's transit network all you lot postulate to practise is to pick out handgrip of the city's GTFS dataset, use GTFS-viz to practise the database too GeoJSON's too and thus plug the information into the Transit Map library. Voila you lot convey your real ain animated faux transit map.
