Geospatial data from L.A. Metro's public transportation system

Sources

Existing lines and stops published by L.A. Metro.

Planned lines and stops estimated by me, Ben Welsh, based on flat maps published by L.A. Metro.

In action

Process

  1. Navigate to http://developer.metro.net/introduction/gis-data/download-gis-data/
  2. Locate a dataset in the "ESRI Shapefile" format
  3. Download the zip file
  4. Use ogr2ogr to convert to .geojson with the crs:84 SRS

Bulk processing

  1. Follow the steps above to download one or more zipped shapefiles
  2. Run this shell script

Requirements to convert

To convert shapefiles to geojson and reproject, you'll need ogr2ogr. On OS X, the easiest way to do this is with Homebrew, by running the command brew install gdal.

Contributing

  1. Fork the project
  2. Add a .geojson file
  3. Submit a pull request

Much respect due
