[edit] Maps on city bus routes

I have drawn a number of google maps[1] on city bus routes, mostly for my own personal reference. Due to some Wikitravel policies, I cannot link to these from the article. I hope that someone with more time and/or skills than myself could convert these into an acceptable format.--Mariusm98 06:32, 25 June 2009 (EDT)

Did you get GPS traces of bus routes, or just copied the bus routes from some other map? If you have raw GPX files, I could use them.

I've been working on the OpenStreetMap map of Fortaleza. I gathered a bit more data while I was there last week. It needs a lot more basic street coverage before we start adding bus routes to the data though.

I have simply followed the local transport authorities' description of the routes, as found here

and then drawn them into google maps. Absolutely no GPS involved.

[edit] Good Information

I lived in Fortaleza for 6 months and learned the area pretty well. Whoever wrote this article knows his stuff. I would also probably add that the areas around Dragão do Mar can be dangerous at night, but as long as you stay within the main plaza (which also has armed guards walking around), you'll be fine. —The preceding comment was added by 24.252.35.195 (talk • contribs)
