[pgrouting-dev] GSoC proposal - public transport in pgrouting

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Hi Kishore,

Thank you for your proposal and interest in pgRouting. You might be 
interested in looking at:

http://opengraphrouter.sourceforge.net/

Last years project was to develop a multi-modal solution. It implements 
bus and train schedules along with walking and cars. This is not 
integrated with pgRouting but you might want to review what was done 
here and maybe reuse some of the concepts in your project.

Best regard,
   -Steve
