Shawinigan Public Transit Shuttle Route Polyline Data

Polyline layer data describes the shuttle circuit operated by the Shawinigan Public Transport Board (RTCS) within the city of Shawinigan. The dataset is published by the Government and Municipalities of Québec under a CC-BY-4.0 license. Metadata was last updated in April 2026, though the specific creation date of the underlying data is not provided.

Use Cases

• Mapping transit routes by visualizing the polyline geometry of the shuttle circuit.
• Calculating route lengths for infrastructure planning using the `st_length (shape)` column.
• Integrating schedule information with spatial data via the `schedule` attribute for service planning.

Strengths

• Data is provided under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for wide reuse.
• Includes specific geometric length measurements for the transit routes via the `st_length (shape)` attribute.
• Published by an official government source (Government and Municipalities of Québec), lending authority.

Limitations

• Key metadata is missing or conflicting: row count, file size, and precise column names are not specified across all sources.
• The `schedule` column's content format and detail are not described, limiting its immediate utility.
• A future 'last updated' date of 2026-04-08 suggests potential metadata errors or placeholder values.
