SG Bus Routes

First and for most, this solution is referenced heavily from Cheeaun's effort on SBRE.

There's data generation component and a client component.

The data generation component is a bunch of scripts written in a pipeline, where one script output is another script input.

Once you run the data generation component, you can run the client component and see the latest updated SG bus routes.

The rationale (Why another project?):

• I am a rubyist and I don't want to install node.js. (Don't feel like installing due to some pass horror with compiling it.)
• The solution Cheeaun proposed are custom json format. I wanted a KML format similar to the bus routes from http://publictransport.sg/.
• I want to feed this to the KMLViewer from Apple's sample project. (In hackish mode so didn't want to write a parser for Cheeaun's data structure, although it won't be hard)

Limitation:

• Final format not pars-able. (Although I can spend some time updating the data structure)
• I have very limited knowledge of KML so implementation might be hackish.
• No shebang. :P

Steps to generate data

# 0. Make sure you have all the gems
bundle install
# 1. Get bus services
ruby get-bus-services.rb
# 2. Get bus routes (Dependent on 1)
ruby get-bus-routes.rb
# 3. Get bus stops (Dependent on 1)
ruby get-bus-stops.rb
# 4. Merge bus routes and bus stops into a KML file. (Dependent on 2 and 3)
ruby merge-bus-routes-with-bus-stops.rb
