    Data Collection Notes

    Using the Twitter API, tweets were scraped from the twitter handle @Ma3Route. Ma3Route is a mobile/web/SMS platform that crowdsources transport data and provides users with information on traffic, road traffic crash (RTC), matatu directions and driving reports. Users post RTC or traffic information to Ma3Route, where Ma3Route then publishes the post on Twitter. Tweets were obtained in order to identify tweets that reported RTC. Tweets from May 2012 to July 2020 were scraped. Additional information on the data is provided in additional documents found under the 'Documentation' tab.
