Dili Microlet Routes map
(https://dilimicroletroutes.github.io)
During my internship with Conservation International in Timor-Leste (May-July 2018), I found how inconvenient and difficult it was for tourists (or newcomers) to learn how to use the only public transport available - microlets.
I was intrigued by these mini-buses ferrying locals around and wanted to try them. However, there was no information on the routes of these microlets. I Googled and found that the existing www.dilimicrolets.com was slightly outdated as some routes have updated and microlets 11 and 12 were newly introduced. Therefore, I’ve sat all microlets (1 to 12) from start to the end to map the routes for my website. I have also included geolocation function and OSM basemap to remove the need to toggle between Google Maps and my website. My work is well received by the expat community as many of them are unfamiliar of the microlet routes and rely on the old website. |
