Easy transport
Game changing tools for
transit map crowdsourcing in your city
More than 60% of the cities
in the world don't have any suitable
public transport's map.
Let's fix that.
Current status of transit data
- Information is encapsulated in "gated communities"
- Not interconnectable, no permissive licenses
- Sources for transit Open Data are incomplete or non-existent
- Very few cities have complete public transport information in OpenStreetMap
These are major obstacles for Open Innovation and current challenges such as smart cities.
Success story
The Mapanica project
Managua, Nicaragua
- 2 mio. people and no public transport information
- 200 people crowd-sourced the bus map with OpenStreetMap
The Mapanica project
Result: a paper map printed 40 000 times, a website and a mobile app
First transit map of a city in Cental America
The Mapanica project
A replicable experience
Note 1. On site collection is fastidious
Note 2. Quality control of bus lines is currently only possible for experienced mappers
Note 3. The final map lacks readability
We will improve that.

Evolution of JOSM plug-in PT_assistant
JOSM is the best tool used by OpenStreetMap contributors.
The PT_assistant plug-in, already existing, allows to check transport networks quality.
We will create a super-easy interface to easily approve quality of a transport network over a whole city.

Future style
This in only a prototype highlighting railways
We will develop a brand new map style that highlights public transport network by type of transport and by line.
Community oriented project
Our tools are
- Simple. Real simple!
- Beta tested & improved by mappers
- Built on top of existing solutions
- Multilingual by design
