I would love to see OSM transit map with time tables so that I could check when some bus/tram should arrive at my stop.

Valent Turkovic valent.turko...@gmail.com schrieb: http://googlemapsmania.blogspot.com/2009/10/real-time-bus-map.html Is this possible with OpenStreetMap? I would like to make Real Time Bus Map for my home town. We have created bus and tram relation tracks and this would be the next step, if possible. Technically it is easily possible: All stops imported during the NaPTAN import have a tag called naptan:NaptanCode. This tag can be used to request real-time information (e.g. via text messages). In the West Midlands area this information can also be accessed via http://netwm.mobi/. So, theoretically you could simple display an overlay with bus stops in OpenLayers (like Novam [1] does) and automatically query netwm.mobi when the user clicks on a stop and display the netwm's output in a popup. However, I reckon there are legal problems with this approach :-) Cheers, Christoph Cheers. -- pratite me na twitteru - www.twitter.com/valentt http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/ linux, blog, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.

The problem is that you need real-time data from the bus route operators to know where their busses are. Since this data is constantly changing Openstreetmap is -- in my opinion -- not the right place for it. It would also be handy to have the timetables in a database as well; I am not aware that anyone is adding timetables at the moment and again I would not use OSM for that. Nonetheless it would be really cool to produce such a map.
