Request to Develop Datasets for the GeoE3 Tool (accessibility to Public transport) #154
Description
Dear S2S Team,
We would like to request the creation/development of new datasets aligned with the structure and standards used in your repository, so that they can be integrated into our open-source tool [GeoE3] https://worldbank.github.io/GEEST/README.html).
Our request focuses on measuring how easily people can reach essential services such as public transportation.
We would greatly appreciate the development of global datasets covering bus stops, train stations and any other public transport stops. For reference, please see this OECD Local Data Portal as an example:
OECD Example – Schools Distance
We are also attaching the methodologies we use for collecting point locations from OpenStreetMap (OSM). If additional global sources or complementary datasets are available that could improve coverage or accuracy, we would be happy to integrate them as well.

Thank you very much for your collaboration and support.
We look forward to working together on this development.
