gtfsni - Unofficial Google Transit Feed Generator for Northern Ireland
######################################################################

A python application that generates GTFS (Google Transit Feed Specification)
files for Translink (N.I.) transport routes. This is a basic proof of concept
that derives its data from scraping the Translink web site. The only
coordinate data available is for Belfast Citybus stops and so other services
such as Ulsterbus and NIRail aren't supported at the moment.

Requirements
============

+ requests
+ python-geohash
+ svn+http://googletransitdatafeed.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/python/

Install
=======

(Tested on linux only).

Install from pypi with easy_install::

    $ easy_install gtfsni

or pip::

    $ pip install gtfsni

Scripts
=======

This this will install a number of scripts, some of which are from the
googletransitdatafeed library. The gtfsni-specific scripts are:

+ gtfs_generate
+ gtfs_validate [GTFS_ZIP_FILE]
+ gtfs_view [GTFS_ZIP_FILE]


Running ``gtfs_generate`` will create a zipped file (google_transit.zip) in
a ``data/dist`` subdirectory of the current working directory.
