Could be useful to generate a variety of useful features for each segment:
whether there's a bus stop on the segment
whether the segment is on one or more bus routes
whether there's a subway station on the segment
distance to nearest bus stop
distance to nearest subway station
The thinking here is both to capture actual vehicle activity (buses stopping or driving by) that may affect crash likelihood as well as to serve as indicators of pedestrian activity (since there will be more of that in places close to traffic).
Also note that because the GTFS standard is a common one, this same tool could be readily ported over to other cities by just swapping the feed source, so this task would be a useful one beyond just for Boston.
