| 1 | === Introduction === | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | This distribution contains everything required to build a basic google transit | ||
| 4 | feed for Halifax Metro Transit, Nova Scotia, Canada. Note that it is woefully | ||
| 5 | incomplete at the moment. | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | Requirements: GNU Make, Perl, Python 2.5. | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | === Usage === | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | First, grab a copy of google transit feed tools: | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | cd $HOME/src | ||
| 14 | wget http://googletransitdatafeed.googlecode.com/files/transitfeed-1.1.7.tar.gz | ||
| 15 | tar zxvf transitfeed-1.1.7.tar.gz | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | Set PYTHONPATH to the python directory in the above checkout: | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/src/transitfeed-1.1.7/python | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | Then just type "make" to build the feed. The output at the end is "feed.zip". | ||
| 22 | For fun, you can view this feed using the snazzy transit feed view application: | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | $HOME/src/transitfeed-1.1.7/python/schedule_viewer.py --feed=hfxfeed.zip | ||
| 25 | |||
