Reply to comment by 11160704 in Compare Public Transport Network Connectivity In 10 European Countries [OC] by TravelTime_LKB

The database does include Campania transport networks. The reason it looks so different is because of transport density - whilst there are transport routes in this area, it's not dense. In the visualisation each stop only has a 15 minute walking catchment area around it, so if the stops are few and far between, at the zoom level it won't show a lot of coverage. You can see when you open up the map in more detail here that there are routes in the area.

But for example the Sorrento peninsula is almost empty, despite the fact that it has a dense public transport network.

Thanks. I'll have our data team look into it but most likely if they're spaced out, once we zoomed it out and exported at a country level it wasn't too visible.

You can clearly see the boundaries between different public transport operators, which means different GTFS providers. I work in the field and for the area in my agency, I can clearly see on your map the networks for which we provide GTFS as open data and the ones we don't. But it is also clear in other areas of Italy just looking at the map.

No, the data is just extremely incomplete. Just taking a very quick glance, without comparing with other maps, I can tell you're missing railway stations along several railway lines in southern Italy, for instance to the Gargano peninsula, along the coast west of Taranto and in various places in Sicily (Pozzallo, Licata, Termini Imerese etc.). This is just off the top of my head and sticking to railways; I'm sure there's thousands of bus stops missing, too, but I don't know by heart where bus stops are.
