BusFeeder™
Iteris, Inc. has developed the Transit Data Organizer, BusFeeder™, to allow small urban and rural agencies to easily manage their fixed-route schedule and routing information for inclusion in Google Transit. Google Transit is a fast-growing, very popular full-service trip planning tool that:
- Allows travelers plan a trip from their origin to destination
- Encourages people to ride the bus instead of driving
- Graphically maps routes
- Tells customers where the nearest origin and destination stops are located
- Finds the best transfer points for their trip
- Informs customers of fares and transfer policies
- Advertises service to new customers
With BusFeeder customers can plan their trips on the Internet using Google Transit, the same trip planning tool used by the customers of major urban transit systems in many countries. Agencies do not need any new software or hardware to participate; nor do they need to know web coding or how to modify a web site. All that is needed is an Internet connection, a web browser, knowledge of routes and BusFeeder.
- Organizes and formats routes and schedules, including holiday and special event schedules
- Automatically generates the data that Google needs to create trip planning for customers
- Allows easy addition and deletion of routes, stops, trips and even seasonal service
- Creates data files that can be used for 511, other web services and more
- Allows control of colors and display of routes stops
- Provides existing and new customers with a dynamic traveler information service
