How to help with public transport routing?

[tannishpage]

All the bus, ferry and train stations are already on the map in my city, with the routes lined out. But I can't access the routing feature, it says "Subway navigation in this region is not available yet". So, what can I do to help out?

You may start from here: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/blob/master/docs/EXPERIMENTAL_PUBLIC_TRANSPORT_SUPPORT.md

It would be great if more people from the community help us with public transport. It's not an easy task.

There is also a great guide from OSMand how to contribute Public Transport info into OpenStreetMap: https://osmand.net/blog/guideline-pt

Is there a reason why you just added "subway, light rail, monorail and train routes and stops" and no tram or bus routes?

[biodranik]

Other developers started to implement the public transport feature (subways) and did not finish it yet. We would gladly finish it with the help of the community.

I get an ModuleNotFound Error for requests. Where do the compiler found that import?

File "C:\osmtest\download_gtfs.py", line 15, in
import requests
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

Edit: i downloaded all python scripts, but there are far too many for me to find the missing class. Any idea?

[csidirop]

Haha, here you can see my lack of python knowledge. But it seams that i have an other issue, because requests is already installed.
I'll come back when i've solved that issue

[csidirop]

Fixed that other stupid issue. But the script won't work. I used the way without the omd key, mostly because their site is broken and i was not able to login. Here the log:

ERROR:main:HTTP error 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url: https://api.transit.land/api/v1/feeds/?per_page=50 downloading zip from https://api.transit.land/api/v1/feeds/?per_page=50
ERROR:main:HTTP error 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url: https://api.transit.land/api/v1/feeds/?per_page=50 downloading zip from https://api.transit.land/api/v1/feeds/?per_page=50
ERROR:main:Empty urls from C:\osmtest

Looking at https://www.transit.land/ it seams that they need an API key too:

Transitland developers: As of June 9, 2021 developers need to include an API key on all requests to the Transitland v1 Datastore API. This will help us to better manage use and ensure all can access Transitland resources with fewer interruptions. Sign-up is free.

@csidirop Have you been able to make it work with a key? Or does the download_gtfs script need modification for it to work?

[csidirop]

@tannishpage no, i took a quick look at the pythonfile and didn't found any parameter for a transitland key (corrct me if i missed something). And since this requirement is new, and the file 6 months old, Im sure it needs modification.

And because this exceeds my nearly non-existent python knowledge, I got nowhere. I could have a look at it this weekend if I find the time, if one of the devs hasn't taken it over by then.

[tannishpage]

@csidirop I'll have a go at it. I've got some experience with python

[csidirop]

@tannishpage great! Let me know if there is something I can do

[tannishpage]

@csidirop I made the modifications to the file and it is working now. It is downloading all the gtfs data from transitland. However, some urls on transitland are causing 403, but that's not really the scripts fault. I'll make a pull request once it finishes running and I'm sure it's not causing any issues.

I am trying to compile the gtfs_converter.cpp file using cmake. But I keep getting this error. Am I doing something wrong? Are there any instructions on how to compile this?

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:5 (omim_add_executable): Unknown CMake command "omim_add_executable".

[biodranik]

Try to build gtfs_converter using CMakeLists.txt at the root of the project.

[tannishpage]

@biodranik How would I do that. I've never used cmake before. cmake --install CMakeLists.txt This is what I was running before. cmake --install CMakeLists.txt transit/world_feed/gtfs_converter I tried this and got the same error.
