Bus Stops by Landmarks in Open Data Catalogue
Edmonton Transit's Bus Stops by Landmarks can be found in the City of Edmonton's Open Data Catalogue. This data, used by the ETS Trip Planner, contains clustered bus stops for Edmonton landmarks and is currently used by the ETS Trip Planner to efficiently plan routes.
Rather than using a fixed geographical point for a landmark in the Trip Planner, ETS uses clusters of bus stops around a particular location, chosen due to their proximity to a building or location of interest. This allows the trip planner to pick the stop and route most appropriate for a user depending on their direction or time of travel, and to suggest multiple routes when possible.
This data is freely available and may be used by developers to create an assortment of software or applications for home computers or smartphones.
