Transitmix: Design Your Perfect Bus System

On June 19th at BETA, we had the pleasure of launching the public beta of Transitmix, a sketching tool for transit planners (both professional and armchair) to quickly design routes and share with the public. Transitmix is a cross-team, collaborative project that has received contributions from no fewer than eight 2014 fellows from more than seven different city teams*, and it has been an amazing opportunity for all of us to learn from each other, share skills, and build on each other's work to create something truly awesome.

Transitmix is the first tool of its kind. It allows users to draw bus routes on any city's road grid and specify frequency and times of service to determine estimated total cost of the system. Users can then share their maps for others to view and "remix" by adding, changing, or dele

Uploading OSM data to Mapbox using an overpass query

If you have been playing around with the new Mapbox Studio you might be interested to know how to make a custom map with objects of your own interest from OpenStreetMap.

To make the process of creating an updating an OSM based dataset on Mapbox more seamless, I was looking into a command line based workflow that could extract OSM data from Overpass and update a Mapbox hosted dataset in one go.

Requirements

Generate an Overpass Query

  • Use Overpass Turbo to create a query for the data you are interested in extracting. Since i'm interested in bus stops, I first browse the map to Bengaluru, India and then generate a query using the wizard query highway=bus_stop

CSS selector minifier concept

CSS selector minification is a missed opportunity of saved bytes. Currently, Google uses it but not much beyond that.

The concept is change .box to .b and <div class="box"> to <div class="b">.

There is room for issues with JavaScript so that should be treated as a nice-to-have and be conservatively avoided.

Approach

To convert HTML and CSS, it would be a 2 step process:

Minify CSS selectors

Generating offline maps for iOS applications

Intro

Recently, I had to implement an offline mapping solution for an iOS application. Here's a walkthrough of how to do it.

Summary

I generated a tile database using TileMill. I used the Route-Me iOS library which provides a map view that supports offline tile sources.
