Jungle Bus

B2B innovative solutions to create mobility data needed for mobile apps and digital services.
Our expertise: Smooth data co-creation with the OpenStreetMap community.

- Our promise
We provide B2B innovative solutions to create mobility data needed for digital applications and services of the future

- Our expertise
We enable data co-creation with the OpenStreetMap community.
OpenStreetMap is "the Wikipedia of the maps": a strongly growing worldwide community creating freely usable data. Nowadays considered as the most exhaustive open geographical database in the world, OpenStreetMap allows a detailed description of the transit networks.

- Our value proposition
We redefine the collaboration possibilities to better create and maintain mobility data. It allows a better quality passenger’s information.
Our approach empowers committed citizens to achieve better maintenance during the life cycle of the data.

• Informal transport network mapping of Accra
  Project: Accra Mobility / summer 2017
  Client: Agence Française de Développement (AFD: French Development Agency)
  Service provided: Digital mapping of the entire network of 320 trotro lines (artisanal transport) of Accra metropolitan area, capital of Ghana (2M hab) in OpenStreetMap
  Description: Jungle Bus trained and provided support to 9 local students that collected GPS traces over the whole transport network.
  A few OpenStreetMap contributors then created the data with Jungle Bus technical support: many tools where created from easy-to-use data collection application to quality
  assurance scripts.
  Jungle Bus team then developed tools to use the data: a GTFS file has been published in the resource center DigitalTransport4Africa and an interactive web map of the network was created.
  Deliverables: Raw geographic data in OpenStreetMap, transport map available at http://junglebus.io/accra, GTFS file including frequency times.
  2 years later: The data produced is still used today by several passenger information transport apps (Transit, Transportr, OSMand, Trotro), locals and local authorities, startups and academics.
  The local OpenStreetMap community keeps updating the data on its own using Jungle Bus tools and training.
• Abidjan transport network mapping
  Project: started in September 2019
  Client: Côte d’Ivoire transport ministry with Agence Française de Développement (AFD) funding
  Service provided: Digital mapping of the entire bus network and informal lines (artisanal transport) of Abidjan’s district (3M hab), economical capital of Côte d’Ivoire, in OpenStreetMap 
  All the officially run buses and transports (SOTRA, STL, SITRANS) but also informal (Gbakas, Woro-woro) are mapped by local collectors in collaboration with the french transit group Systra and the local "OpenStreetMap Côte d’Ivoire" non-profit organization.
