Can you use bus route data to show only street names it travels on?

Okay, so I have a street map with all of the streets labeled. I have the bus route data for those streets. I'm trying to use the bus route data to hide all streets that the buses don't travel on.

I think I have to relate the bus route layer to to the street name layer but I'm not sure how to get it to hide streets not overlapped. I thought maybe a definition query.

Okay so using "Spatial Join" intersect 50 feet. The bus service streets are properly selected. Thank you so much for helping and being a sounding board. Sometimes you just kind of have to group think out loud to get where you need to be.

Assuming you have a common field between bus routes and streets (street name?), you could join the streets layer to the bus routes layer and uncheck "keep all target features". That will hide any streets that aren't matched with a bus route.

Unfortunately the bus routes were made with GPS data so I only have Polylines with with shape information. I was hoping there would be a tool that would let me take what that overlaps and use it as kind of a clipping mask for data.

It's tough to link one layer to another if there's no attribute or geometry match between them. You could create a buffer (width TBD) on your bus routes and do a spatial join with streets to pick up street attributes, but that's going to be tough with cross streets. Presumably your bus routes are on arterial streets; could you filter your streets on some sort of road classification?

IanHarper

The buses travel on all types of roads, they also travel on main roads and cross streets. It might be quicker for me to do this manually in illustrator. I was really hoping there was a way to interoperate the bus path in a way that it would be like, "this line is over top this street until it turns and covers up this street." since there are no offsets or wandering paths.
