Gord Price linked to a recent hidden post on Google Earth’s official forums by Graeme Brown, a staff member at the famous TransLink. Graeme recently created a very cool visualization, merging the mapping data of Google Earth with TransLink’s new automatic passenger count systems. This transforms the static passenger load data into a new visual experience, giving this whole new spatial sense when viewing the stats.

It’s very cool to see that there are some innovative staff at TransLink like Graeme working on these types of projects. If anymore of this kind of stuff is being worked on behind the scenes, it would be a huge boost to TransLink’s rep to making it all public. I’d also love to see these visuals being made for many of the popular routes, or at least the passenger info being available for independent developers to create and expand on projects like this. Good job Graeme!
