@geoalgeria/gares-routieres

Every intercity bus station in Algeria — as data you can install.

74 intercity bus stations (gares routières) across Algeria — with official names, postal addresses, GPS coordinates, surface areas, and wilaya/commune linkage. Sourced from SOGRAL (the state operator of Algeria's coach stations), shipped as JSON, CSV, and GeoJSON. Part of GeoAlgeria.

Also known as: the SOGRAL network. SOGRAL is the source; the package is domain-named (gares-routieres) and discoverable via the sogral keyword.

npm install @geoalgeria/gares-routieres

import gares from "@geoalgeria/gares-routieres";

const all = gares.stations();                 // 74
const alger = gares.stationById("16-01");      // Alger — Grands Invalides
const inSetif = gares.stationsByWilaya(19);    // stations in wilaya 19

// Every station has lat/lng — distance-sort, map, or nearest-station in a few lines.

What you can build

• Nearest-station lookups — coordinates on every record, ready for distance sorting.
• Travel & logistics — match a wilaya or a point to its serving coach station.
• Maps — drop-in GeoJSON point layer for the national gare-routière network.
• Capacity views — total/built surface areas per station.

What's inside

| Dataset | Count | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Intercity bus stations | 74 | official name, address, coordinates, surface areas |

Spanning 51 wilayas, every station geocoded. wilaya_code is linked against the geoalgeria 69-wilaya model.

Formats

The npm package ships the JSON (importable directly):

import stations from "@geoalgeria/gares-routieres/data/stations.json" with { type: "json" };
// or via CDN, no install:
// https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@geoalgeria/gares-routieres/data/stations.json

The loaders and record shapes are fully typed:

import gares, { type Station } from "@geoalgeria/gares-routieres";
const stations: Station[] = gares.stations();

CSV and GeoJSON are in the repo under data/ and bundled in every GitHub Release:

data/
  stations.json            # 74 stations (array)
  metadata.json            # sources, counts, license, updated
  csv/stations.csv
  geojson/stations.geojson # Point features (all 74 are geocoded)

Record shape

{
  "id": "16-01",
  "name": "ALGER",
  "wilaya_code": "16",
  "commune_code": "1631",
  "commune": "El Magharia",
  "lat": 36.7425,
  "lng": 3.108,
  "geo_precision": "exact",
  "geo_method": "exact",
  "source": "sogral",
  "refs": {
    "sogral": "213-000016000"
  },
  "official_name": "La gare routière des Grands Invalides de la guerre de libération nationale",
  "address": "Avenue de L’ALN B.P n°412 – 16040 – Hussein Dey (Alger)",
  "surface_total_m2": 13000,
  "surface_built_m2": 8000
}

id is an opaque string, {wilaya_code}-{seq}-shaped but unique within stations.json — don't parse it. wilaya_code/commune come from a nearest-centroid join against geoalgeria (which also reconciles SOGRAL's legacy 48-wilaya codes). 71 of 74 stations are geo_precision: "exact"; 3 are "approximate" (Guelma, Illizi, Aïn Oussara). The SOGRAL location code lives under refs.sogral.

Need the administrative divisions too?

For wilayas, dairas, and communes to join against, use the main geoalgeria package — it ships the full 69-wilaya division dataset that wilaya_code here links to.

Source

Data comes from SOGRAL — EPE SOGRAL Spa (Société de Gestion des Gares Routières d'Algérie), via its live departures registry (https://live.sogral.com). Run npm run fetch to regenerate every output. wilaya_code/commune are resolved by nearest commune centroid from the geoalgeria dataset.
