The tool\u2014a database georeferencing the 2,349 routes that operated in the S\u00e3o Paulo capital in September 2015\u2014has been made freely available by the Center for Metropolitan Studies (CEM) to any who registers on its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fflch.usp.br\/centrodametropole\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website<\/a>. The database provides information including itineraries, times of operation, dates that routes were created or extended, average daily passenger numbers, fleet sizes, payment methods, gratuities offered by the system, and companies responsible for running the routes. Political scientist Marcos Campos and geographer Daniel Waldvogel, from CEM, established the project using data from the website of S\u00e3o Paulo Transport (SPTRANS), a local authority that manages the municipal bus lines, all of which are operated by private companies. They then used the freedom of information act to access the remaining data. CEM&#8217;s Geographic Information System (SIG) was used to transform the database into a digital map.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Database provides information about bus routes of the S\u00e3o Paulo capital","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1651],"tags":[265],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-246928","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-notes","tag-urbanism"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246928","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=246928"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246928\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246928"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246928"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246928"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=246928"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
