Edinburgh Buses.
Edinburgh Buses
This database consists of two tables: stops and routes
stops
This is a list of areas served by buses. The detail does not really include each actual bus stop - just areas within Edinburgh and whole towns near Edinburgh.
Field | Type | Notes |
---|---|---|
id | INTEGER | Arbitrary value |
name | CHAR(30) | The name of an area served by at least one bus |
route
A route is the path through town taken by a bus.
Field | Type | Notes |
---|---|---|
num | CHAR(5) | The number of the bus - as it appears on the front of the vehicle. Oddly these numbers often include letters |
company | CHAR(3) | Several bus companies operate in Edinburgh. The main one is Lothian Region Transport - LRT |
pos | INTEGER | This indicates the order of the stop within the route. Some routes may revisit a stop. Most buses go in both directions. |
stop | INTEGER | This references the stops table |
As different companies use numbers arbitrarily the num and the company are both required to identify a route.
