GV Scraper gathers bus information from Grande Vitória, by different companies and sources, in different formats, for use with osm2gtfs

The scraper script downloads the timetables on PDF files, supplied on the web site of Expresso Lorenzutti and Sanremo, and extracts the timetable from it before storing them as a JSON file.

For Transcol and Seletivo, it uses the same JSON interface, used by the Ceturb site.

For Planeta, timetables are posted as tables in HTML, each variation is a separate route, using the page index as ref tag on the routes.

The JSON format is developed in collaboration with the developers of osm2gtfs for full functionallity.

The script requires pdfminer, requests, overpass, logging, json, workalendar and datetime python moduls and runs under Python2.7

Install dependencies by running

pip install -r requirements.txt

• osrm need to be installed manually. If not installed, or if install not importing, fallback to YOURS over requests

In each folder, to obtain the duration of the routes, just run get_duration.py. To generate a times.json file for osm2gtfs, when durations.json is up to date, just run get_times.py

There is a separate script, get_durations.py that tests the route relations against OSRM to generate a list of durations. This script is only needed to run when significant changes have been done in the itenerary, or new routes have been added. Mark that it will not erase the duration of routes that have been discontinued.

Routing is done by selecting the route relation in question with an overpass query, and creates a list of waypoints that are passed to the selected routing engine.

If there are no route relation for a specific route, it returns -1 duration, this is a signal to the scraper to test against the default value (60). Mark that routes that doesn't have a relation will not be handled by osm2gtfs either. Other negative values have different meanings, but for short means that no relation found or impossible to calculate route due to missing waypoints.

• -1: Route have no valid stop positions.
• -2: Route have only one valid stop position, and it is neither start, nor end.
• -3: Route doesn't start with a valid stop position.
• -4: Route doesn't end with a valid stop position.
• -5: No valid routes found
• -6: Circular route (same start and end position) with no aditional stops

get_durations.py depends, in addition to the above mentioned, on overpass and osrm python modules.

As a fallback if osrm is not installed, or installation doesn't work, routing can be handled by a YOURS web interface, using requests calls. This is ment as a fallback, since YOURS must route between two nodes, so a long route must be called in a series of calls, instead of osrm that can take the entire waypoint list in one call.

For routes such as Transcol, I have added feriados.py, requiring workalendar python module. The workalendar give a system for handling holidays, and feriados.py use them to create different lists of holidays within a given year. This way, exceptions can be handled in an intelligent manner. workalendar handles fixed holidays as well as moving holidays.

• Alvorada Site not publishing times except for the airport express, and no ref numbers.
• Águia Branca Site contain no useful API, but let you buy tickets for destinations, can possibly be used to verify ref tags.

This will not be pursued, if a proper API can be found, this can be done per company, but also mapping of such routes can be challenging as some of them spans the entire territory of Brazil. It will be preferred if these companies can supply their own GTFS sources.
