This exists to reduce the number of steps to find when the bus will arrive. Instead of having to select the stop or route again to get updated times, one need only refresh the page.
NOTE: This doesn't yet provide an automated method for keeping the transit data up-to-date, which is required by AAATA's ToS.
Requires Python 2, and uses pipenv for dependencies. Run pipenv install to install them.
google_transit.zip must exist - fetch it from https://www.theride.org/google/google_transit.zip. An
associated page notes in part:
You have an obligation to keep schedule information up to date. Our customers depend on accurate information. Outdated schedules can mean missed buses or poorly timed connections. We require developers to update their data within three business days of a new file becoming available. You're not allowed to use AAATA/TheRide logos or other intellectual property. While the schedule data is provided free for your use, our logo and other registered service marks and trademarks remain the property of AAATA/TheRide.
Setting up a periodic job to check for updates is therefore a good idea.
To deploy this, copy bus.wsgi to somewhere in your webroot, then set up the Flask WSGI app. bus.wsgi assumes this
project is cloned to bus under a buspage user. Copy sample_config.py to config.py, and set the API key.
For Apache 2 on Debian, mod_wgsi for Python 2 is packaged as libapache2-mod-wsgi, and the necessary additions
within the relevant VirtualHost look something like:
WSGIDaemonProcess buspage user=buspage python-home=/home/buspage/venv home=/home/buspage/bus
WSGIScriptAlias /bus /var/www/bus/bus.wsgi process-group=buspage application-group=buspage
Run from the root of this repository with something like env FLASK_APP=bus FLASK_DEBUG=1 flask run
