MapMap
MapMap is a mobile application that allows you to map routes that travel on public transport vehicles in a city, with the aim of generating data in GTFS format.
The tool was used in the city of Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico by the civil organization Codeando Xalapa. An exercise called Mapatón Ciudadano was carried out with the collaboration of the City Council of Xalapa and the participation of 400 participants. The exercise consisted of the use of the MapMap application to generate a local database related to transportation services in the area, with the purpose of improving the mobility of the city.
