Towards a GTFS feed for CairoA proposal

Page 2: Transport for Cairo (TfC)

Transport for Cairo (TfC) was founded in 2015 with the mission and primary focus of working towards a more sustainable transportation system in Cairo. To further this mission, TfC directs its efforts to map all formal and informal transportation in Cairo digitally, and release all data openly.

Currently, TfC consists of 5 individuals, with backgrounds from urban planning, business development, computer science and economics. TfC’s purpose is to make the current public transportation sector in Cairo more understandable for consumers in Egypt and professionals in urban planning and development alike. Since its founding, TfC has released 1 dataset, and is on track to creating a research-consortium to attract grant funding. It has collaborated with multiple stakeholders, including the World Bank, JICA, 10 Tooba and more. Central to TfC’s philosophy is the concept of openness.

Who are we?

TfC will release its data in the open GTFS format.

This GTFS dataset will serve consumers in Egypt and professionals in urban planning and development alike. Both have been hitherto faced with a dire lack of information regarding public transportation in Cairo. 

What do we do?

Routes

Schedules

Microbuses are notorious for jacking up fares arbitrarily, particularly in out-of-ordinary situations such as National Holidays or bad weather. Furthermore, consumers have no way to accurately determine the cheapest way to travel between any 2 given destinations. 

Cairo has no system for creating or disseminating travel alerts. Occasional Metro shutdowns cause devastation on mobility within the city as commuters are surprised on the spot. No information on alternative routes exists. 

With the exception of the Cairo Metro, information on public transportation in Cairo is not accessible. The Cairo Traffic Authority does not publish its routes in printed or digital form, maintain a transit map or street level info on the bus system. The informal microbus system is completely unstudied; no information or accurate data on it exists. 

Fares

Travel AlertsRelying on public transportation is a volatile experience, as the timing of public buses is dependant on traffic congestion. No public data exists on trip lengths, frequency of operation on routes or service availability.

GTFS was developed in 2005 as a collaboration between TriMet & Google. It is a way to map public transit systems in a language understood by software.

“I found it very frustrating to try and find transit directions in the unfamiliar cities I was visiting. It was much easier at that time to get

driving directions from popular online mapping services, and I realized this was probably encouraging car usage over public transit.”

- Bibiana McHugh, Creator of GTFS

We make the ingredient (The GTFS data) and the users cook the meal.

The GTFS data will be used by multiple stakeholders

The Tech Community will build Apps and websites for consumers

The Academic Community will research urban development and access

The Business Community will involve Public Transportation in planning

The Government will invest in the system more knowingly

Advocacy Groups will measure spatial inequality

Community Organisations will know how to get from A to B, and share that knowledge to consumers

The Tech Community can use GTFS feeds to create many different apps for consumers.

Local Apps currently do not utilise GTFS, and are of low quality. Their installed base does not exceed 500 users each.

Create GIS Data Onsite

Create GTFS Publish Data Openly

Promote GTFS usage by the stakeholders

TfC will rely on a 4-Step Process to maximise the benefits of using GTFS.

First, we will create raw data by using existing sources where it exists, and using mobile technology where it does not. We will then process this raw data to conform with the GTFS format and publish it openly. Finally, we will push adoption of the format amongst stakeholders.

How do we go about it?
