Instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

This Gist contains a script and supporting files for building a OneBusAway GTFS bundle with data for all agencies in the Baltimore/Washington area that have publicly released their data.

Configuration parameters come from two sheets in a Google Docs document:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvrkbWHnoksNdGdYam4wX214SXpoRmdia0FEalZvUHc&usp=sharing

The dependency on Google Docs could easily be removed by removing that part of download.sh and using a locally-maintained CSV file instead.
