stops.csv

stops.csv

This file contains all stops for all routes in the system. Each row is a stop. Stops can be used on multiple routes, so each stop should only have one row in this file.
If no latitude or longitude are provided, the system will attempt to resolve the provided address to a latitude/longitude internally. Addresses that are not fully qualified (such as intersections, e.g: “119th and Main”, or street names without ZIP code or city) may be resolved incorrectly. In such cases, the administrator will have to correct them manually through the dashboard. Hence, it is important to check that stops look correct in the map after importing.

Fields

id

A unique identifier for the stop. Can be a text or a number.

address

e.g. “1234 Main Street, Beverly Hills, CA 90210”.

description

Human friendly description for this stop.

latitude

Latitude coordinate of the stop, if available.

longitude

Longitude coordinate of the stop, if available.

schools

If this stop is a school, add the school name. School names should match the ones in students.csv. If this stop belongs to multiple schools, separate school names by a comma.
