nairobi matatu data and app

[Connor Leech]

Hello Hacks and Hackers,

I'm looking to build an app to map nairobi's matatu routes on to Open Street Map. I built a prototype website on some incomplete data: http://nairobibusroutes.herokuapp.com/ using messy jQuery

Anyways I think it'd be cool to have a working API to get matatu route data to developers. The raw data is available from the digital matatus project and is available here

I formatted the data I thought relevant into JSON here: https://github.com/jasonshark/open-data-day-ke

If anyone is interested in this project (building a RESTful server and client side app(s)) please let me know!

hey quick update, I've built an API that serves up data formatted from digitalmatatus.com: http://digitalmatatus.herokuapp.com/developers

Anyone can use this data. I'll be using Angular.js and Leaflet.js to put these routes on open street map 

The full source is on my github: https://github.com/jasonshark/open-data-day-ke

update

I put together a basic demo using leaflet.js and jQuery on how the matatu route API could be utilized.

Would it be possible to analyze and add traffic movement color codes to the routes based on calculated information from the cameras?

This can help one avoid routes filled with jam in advance before they leave the house or office.
