The intent of this project is to provide a transportation schedule information (ie. bus times) via SMS or text messaging only. The software should be compatible with any location where GTFS data has been provided. A list of locations where GTFS data is available can be found here.
Dec 31, 2011 It has come to my attention that there is a django-twilio project in the early stages of development that contains an abundance of useful code for this project if we decide to go with Twilio. Many of Twilio’s capabilities including SMS and security features are being harnessed in this project. Comparing it to RapidSMS they share many features but have some key differences.
Dec 13, 2011 Good news, the previously outdated Google GTFS Hamilton data has magically been updated. The only bad news is that the database has grown considerably in size. For this reason I have removed the hamilton_data.json from the fixtures directory and have left only initial_data.json which is loaded automatically when running:
python manage.py syncdb
There is no reason to use the manage.py loaddata command using this dataset because Django automatically reads fixtures of the file name initial_data.json which has been included in the most recent commit.
Please try to adhere to PEP 8 Style Guide for Python Code found here. An easymode cheatsheet for PEP 8 here. Note: Currently in the process of commenting existing code.
