Of course its not about the signs themselves, they just help identify the
infrastructure.

I'll try to explain my point differently: There is infrastructure in the form
of roads and paths. Some of them have names or numbers, often overlapping, such
as the School Rd or M5 or B 57 or Thames Cylce Path. People (optionally
in their vehicles) use this infrastructure to move about. Sometimes they use
one part of the infrastructure, sometimes another part. For most journeys
they will use several of those named/numbered routes. So I might take my bike
out for a spin first along some local roads (Foo Rd, Bar Rd, ...), a larger
Road (B 567) and then along smaller roads again which happen to be part of
the Baz Cycle Route etc.

Public transport lines are different. They are not part of this infrastructure,
they us it just like I use this infrastructure when out cycling. But there is a
difference to my cycling: They always use the same parts of the infrastructure
on each journey.

Unlike my way to work (which is the same each day, too), these public transport
journeys are important to many people. Thats why we want to put them into OSM.

I totally agree that this is only one way of thinking about these difference
and as always the world is much more complicated. But I happen to think this
to be a very obvious and logical classification. Others might see it
differently.

I have create a new wiki-page 'Public transport schema 2' based on  
Oxomoa's proposal on the main wiki based on the last edit made before  
the big revert. I have added a bit of information about the relation  
you refer to in the 'infrastructure' section , but more is needed:-

I think this mainly applies to railways, however, as I've mentioned

The Tramlink in Croydon (London) is a good example of where the the

tram service patterns (routes 1 to 3).


The routes are currently mapped with a relation tagged as  
type=route, route=tram.


I've just created a relation for the network as a whole (see http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/189917) 
. For the type being, it's tagged as type=network, network=tram as  
well as public_transport=network from Sebastians proposal.


Are there any other views on how this should be tagged? Perhaps the  
network shouldn't be tagged at all, under the relations aren't for  
categories principle?


I'm also of the opinion that we should stick to using type=route,  
route=tram/railway for the train/tram service patterns, rather than  
the infrastructure. However, this appears to be the opposite of  
what's written in http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Oxomoa/Public_transport_schema

Couldn't you just use the network tag on the 3 tram route relations  
and merge the results to get this relations? It requires a bit more  
preprocessing to get the information that you are looking for, whilst

Some information lies better on the infrastructure, so for some purposes you
want both. I've concluded that infrastructure relations are probably the
best way to mark whether route sections are predominantly 1-track, 2-track,
4-track etc. I don't think we've identified much of a need for
infrastructure relations on self-contained railways, though I don't think
they hurt.

Do check out this new wiki page:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Public_transport_schema_2

I have done some work on the top level modelling for transit  
information based on Oxoma's work. I am proposing that we use Lines,  
Line Variants and Routes for the actual services in a similar way to  
the original proposal.


Lines are pretty much unchanged.

Line Variants used to hold a stop list and also the route through the  
infrastructure. I have split this into Line Variants for the list of  
stops, and Routes for the path through the network (this approach  
saves work as it allows Routes to be reused on more than one Line  
Variant). It is also the modelling used by Transmodel which will be  
helpful when we start getting more EU schedule data.


Routes are pretty much the same as cycle routes, ie a single path  
through the transport network.


I have added a basic infrastructure route proposal, but have no strong  
feelings about what tags we use.


With regard to updating what is already in OSM then I suggest we use  
write some tools to do the job. Frederik has already offered to some  
support for this (and he recently did some automatic cleanup on tiger  
data in the USA) using a similar rule-bases approach.

Peter

Yes Frederik could tidy things up, but it's best not to change things
arbitrarily (ie substituting line for route), because it just makes it
harder to remember what is correct. The lack of presets for relations in
Potlatch makes it doubly useful to minimise the complexity.

I totally agree, however we are just setting out on a long journey to  
capture all the transit data for the world, so lets get the modelling  
clear now and not be held back by some tag-updating!

As we are aware the various transit strands and proposals were  
initially created bottom-up in a rather random way (which is the  
nature of these projects). Oxomoa then did a good review of the  
tagging and identified a number of gaps and inconsistencies with the  
German community which started to bring it all together. We have also  
had some useful input from the professional transit community.

I suggest that we put significant effort into the wiki and modelling  
at this point to get all the transit related pages to fit together in  
a consistent way to our liking and that this will pay big dividends in  
the future.

The first question is what does route=railway denote, the infrastructure or

To put it in concrete terms, there are two regular Eurostar services,
London-Paris and London-Brussels. Should there be a railway=route relation
for each of these services?  What about the ocassional Disneyland and snow

These services also travel along the lines known as High Speed 1 (from

Hi,

I've experimented with the section of the West Coast Mainline  
between B'ham New St and B'ham International: I've added a train  
(i.e service) relation with ref=WCML and also a railway (i.e  
physical) relation with ref =17.01 ( the SRS for the section of  
track) to see how it rendered in opnvkarte. I'd appreciate people's  
opinions now the render engine has caught up. Personally I don't  
like it and I think the physical stuff is better tagged on the ways;  
opnvkarte is a public transport map and should show services


My interest in infrastructure relations is not very high, the only  
reason I'm rendering them is, that there were (or maybe are) some  
service routes that are tagged with route=railway. Rendering them  
enables people to see the fault. The main focus of öpnvkarte lies on  
the service relations.


I think the problem is that we are using the term Route for at least  
two different things. Are there not reasons why one might what to  
create a relation for the West Coast Main Line 'infrastructure/ 
physical/track' or the East Suffolk Line 'infrastructure/physical/ 
track' or a particular SRS section 'infrastructure/physical/track' as  
distinct from path used by a particular rail operator or by a  
particular public transport service? Should we not provide a way of  
doing both even if both are not always populated? Why do we not  
proposed a different way of coding relations for the railways, SRS  
sections etc and ensure that these are not rendered on opnvkarte  
rather than dump the whole idea?


Personally I see this being a very useful piece of information about  
the Peterborough to Ely line and like the way the relation overlays on  
the slippery map for more detail:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/142758 (relation for  
Peter to Ely line)


I have done something similar for the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway  
which I have found very useful
