one thing I've enjoyed doing on the STO map (and part of the reason it's taking so long) is lovingly stenciling in every single street to fill in the empty space while trying to maintain readability. I think it produced something really really pretty <3

Hey @oc-transpohelps.bsky.social now that there's 2 frequent buses stopping at Laurier/Waller as well as 2 separate intercity bus agencies, do you think maybe you could remove the locks on the perfectly good bus shelters from the original Laurier station? It's ridiculous that they're here & locked.

Working on a new system map based on the new transportation master plan. Since they didn't bother to name the third infill station b/w Leitrim and Limebank, I did it for them. Behold !! Unnecessary station <3

To give you an idea of just how fun to work with the vehicle locations API is, here's an animation I did last year of a timelapse of every vehicle's location over an evening rush hour. Pay attention to the right side and you can see buses going way off the map to run commuter lines (200s)

S/o to OC Transpo's vehicle location API, I will be capturing data on a set interval for the next several weeks. My goal is to use this data to estimate bus crowding, bus bunching, etc. and to see how that changes after the network redesign
