Accuracy of shape M1250044 in current Manhattan Bus GTFS

[Stephen Bauman]

This is the shape for Manhattan bound M125 trips from Third Ave & 149th St in the Bronx to W 125th St in Manhattan.

The initial shape starts on Third Ave north of 149th St, crosses 149th and then appears to use Willis Ave. This section of Willis Ave is a pedestrian only street, as part of Roberto Clemente Plaza.

The actual route route, as guessed from viewing Google Street View, appears to continue along Third Ave; turn left on 146th St and then right onto Willis Ave.

N.B. I'm trying to trace the bus routes onto the open streetmap base grid for comparison with other cities. The object is to calculate the number of buses crossing each intersection in a given metropolitan area. I had implemented this several years ago for NYC. I used the a base map from the NYC website. I need a common base map to extend my study to other cities.

I detected a little over 200 tracing problems, so may have to indulge me for a few more queries.

Thanks in advance.
