philly-transit-data

Download GIS data published by SEPTA & NJ Transit

Installation

This package depends upon geopandas and pandas. After installing these two libraries you can install this module using the following command:

pip install git+https://github.com/aaronfraint/philly-transit-data.git

Usage

Import the module and instantiate the `TransitData` object:

>>> from philly_transit_data import TransitData
>>> data = TransitData()

Download a single transit mode:

>>> stops, lines = data.get_data_from_portal(mode="SEPTA bus")

Or, download all transit modes at once:

>>> stops, lines = data.all_spatial_data()

You can now use `stops` and `lines` like any `GeoDataFrame`

For example, save to shapefile with .to_file()

>>> print(type(stops))
<class 'geopandas.geodataframe.GeoDataFrame'>

>>> stops.to_file("philly_transit_stops.shp")

See a list of all available modes

>>> data.options()
['SEPTA regional rail', 'SEPTA trolley', 'SEPTA bus', 'SEPTA subway - broad', 'SEPTA subway - market', 'SEPTA norristown high speed line', 'NJT bus', 'NJT rail']

Add a data source

For example, add AMTRAK's national stop and route datasets

>>> new_mode = "AMTRAK national network"
>>> data.add_data_source(new_mode, "stops", "https://opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/628537f4cf774cde8aa9721212226390_0.geojson")
>>> data.add_data_source(new_mode, "lines", "https://opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/d04fab6590c04feaa5f3955ef5abe929_0.geojson")
