Miejskie Przedsiębiorstwo Komunikacyjne — the transportation company in Wrocław (https://mpk.wroc.pl/) provides positions of their buses and trams by querying their API endpoint, e.g.:

$ curl --insecure https://mpk.wroc.pl/bus_position --data 'busList[][]=8&busList[][]=31'
[
    {"name":"31","type":"tram","y":17.01899,"x":51.09238,"k":14482003},
    {"name":"31","type":"tram","y":16.959703,"x":51.140003,"k":14481968},
    {"name":"8","type":"tram","y":17.038694,"x":51.108288,"k":14483257},
    ...
]

MPK also provides GPS coordinates of bus/tram stops and list of stops per route.

The location data is converted into the position along the route, i.e. last visited stop and percentage of distance covered to the next one. Data are collected a couple of times per minute and saved in the database.

provided by a Django app, also on https://mpk.tk.usermd.net/.

• Normal data

• Some delays

• Install liberation fonts from https://github.com/liberationfonts/liberation-fonts
• Clone the repository
• Create a Python>=3.8 virtual environment
• Create wsgi.py, manage.py and files in mpk/settings/ based on their .template versions
• Update crontab based on MANAGEMENT/0-crontab
• Add routes as described in the following section

Before adding the first route, add stops locations:

• Download OtwartyWroclaw_rozklad_jazdy_GTFS.zip from https://www.wroclaw.pl/open-data/dataset/rozkladjazdytransportupublicznegoplik_data
• Copy stops.txt to mpk/resources/
  (Version from December 2019 is in MANAGEMENT/1-add-stops-and-routes/sample-data/stops.csv)

Adding route:

• Download XML-rozkladyjazdy.zip from https://www.wroclaw.pl/open-data/dataset/rozkladjazdytransportupublicznegoxml_data
• Copy (line).xml to mpk/resources/routes/
  
• If needed, manually modify (line).xml
  There can be only two route versions ("wariant" tags) in the file, corresponding to the two directions of the route. They should have the same stop names, in reverse order. Most of the time, the ones we are interested in are the first ones in the file.
  • Stops in one direction, e.g. "DWORZEC GŁÓWNY (Stawowa)" from line 31, might be removed or copied to the route in the other direction with the same "id" parameter. \u2191 and \u2193 or ↑ and ↓ can be used for upwards and downwards arrow to mark stops in one direction.
  • Stops with different names in the two directions can be removed or added with the combined name, e.g. "Urząd Wojewódzki / Poczta Główna" from line D.
  • "numer" and "czas" arguments are not read
• Add route

  (env) $ ./manage.py add_route (line)

• If needed, manually modify display_name in stops_stop table to make stop names fit on the plot.
• (0031.xml and 000d.xml from December 2019 are in MANAGEMENT/1-add-stops-and-routes/sample-data/)
