nextbus_jfk contains a Python program to do the following using NextBus' public JSON feed:

• Given an agency tag (i.e. a short code representing an agency using NextBus to track their buses), create geojson files displaying the path of each bus route the agency has.
• For each route for an agency, create an XML file with a Point for each bus stop on the route. The geojson Point contains details of the stop, such as the stop name, route name, direction of the route (i.e. the route is a loop or not), and the predicted departure/arrival time of the next bus.

The code written is currently written for JFK airport's bus routes specifically, but to adapt the code for another agency (i.e. orginzation that uses NextBus), please do the following:

• Replace "jfk" in the urls with the new agency tag you wish to use. For instance, Newark airport is ewr.
• Alter the if-else statements for creating the geojson files. Add or remove if/elif statements to match the number of routes, altering the boolean comparison to match the agency's route tags.
• Also, I suggest that you alter the names of the files being created by the program to reflect the name of the new agency and the new names of routes. I use the format [agency tag]_[route name].xml, but use any naming convention you like.

Within the subfolder vehicle_locations, there is code to creade an XML file displaying the current locations of the JFK airport's buses. To adapt this code for another agency, do the following:

• Replace "jfk" in the urls with the new agency tag you wish to use.
• Alter the name of the file created so that it reflects the name of the new agency. I suggest using the format [agency tag]_locations.xml, but you can rename the files how you like.

• Find a way to represent a stop that is on multiple routes (i.e. JFK's Federal Circle stop is both on the Service Route and the Cargo Route). The fix for now is to put different routes on different dashboards.
• Clean up code and document in comments (or somewhere else) how the JSON retrieved from NextBus' public JSON feed is structured
• Find a way to distinguish bus locations from stop locations (figure out how to have a custom icon on Metro-OPS that does maintain the precise location of the bus/stops).
