Public transport provides an alternative which is often faster, more environmentally sustainable, and sometimes even more convenient. The main role of street maps has generally been to help people navigate when walking, or when using private motor vehicles on the public highway system. Introduction Why do we map public transport in OpenStreetMap? 2.6 Cable cars, chair lifts, gondolas, etc.1.1 Why do we map public transport in OpenStreetMap?.Learn more by watching the Public Transit Analysis in ArcGIS Pro video series. Red Bank and East Ridge may be popular origin sites for bus travelers but not common destinations. To better map the need for bus service, you could also include variables such as daytime population, total employees, and total retail sales. This lesson focused on where people live to determine need for bus stops, but ignored where they work, shop, and go to school. You may also consider more demographic variables. However, a more rigorous suitability analysis can better help you select areas by weighing your criteria and quantifying your results. This visual analysis can provide valuable insight to guide your planning of Chattanooga's public transit expansion. Finally, you symbolized your map to conduct a visual analysis and propose new sites for bus routes. You enriched group block areas with demographic variables.
You generated service areas surrounding each bus stop using a network dataset. In this lesson you mapped bus stops from GTFS data. Perhaps these areas have become more urbanized since the original public transit routes were created. The block group layers are now masked by the bus stop service areas.įrom this map, the neighborhoods of East Ridge and Red Bank seem like the most likely candidates to receive a new bus route.
