[Talk-transit] NaPTAN data import

Hi everyone We discussed at our West Mids meeting last night the best way forward. Here is what we would like to see happen: 1. Proceeed with the import on the basis of the proposed naptan taggings. All imported data should have the naptan: prefix as we feel it is important to identify the

Re: [Talk-transit] [Talk-gb-westmidlands] NaPTAN merge tool

[Talk-transit] GPS traces in Central Birmingham

Hi Peter The relative absence is mainly down to experience that the traces were so unreliable as to be only a guide and a lot of streets are estimations only. I tried using a compass to get bearings but standing in the middle of a road with a compass causes a lot of disturbance so I desisted.

[Talk-transit] West Bromwich Bus Station

You might like to take a look at http://blog.mappa-mercia.org/ where the results of our mapping party this weekend on the bus station are shown(we didn't just do the bus station btw!), compared to the raw NaPTAN data and what the other mapping providers think West Brom bus station looks like.

[Talk-transit] West Mids Bus Routes

[Talk-transit] Roundabout, ways and relationship policies

Hi all I'm the guilty party who split up the roundabouts in question to put the bus route relation through it. What do we want correct roundabout junction tags or correct bus routes? I did it this way by splitting the roundabout because it's obviously a roundabout from it shape and

[Talk-transit] Route relations types

Do we want to add route=coach to differentiate long distance routes operated in the UK mainly by National Express and which mainly travel city to city with very limited stops, from the typical bus services which operate within cities or short distance between adjacent or closely related towns and

[Talk-transit] Interesting NapTAN/OSM data

In response to Peter's request for feed back for his top brass look at the detail we can achieve for example at West Brom bus station and Dudley bus station, also the growing bus route map for the West Midlands (

[Talk-transit] Proposed automated edit for NAPTAN data in the West Midlands

We have an opportunity to work with the regional transport authority TfWM to update this imported data which is 8 years old and partially edited by OSM users. They have assigned 2 developers to work on this and I'm spending a half day each week working with them. We've agreed and discussed this

[Talk-transit] Public Transport Smart Cards

Hi everyone TfWM(Transport for West Midands) in the UK have recently introduced the Swift Card (similar to TfL's Oyster Card) and have started installing Swift Collectors in bus shelters and bus stations. Swift Collectors are where you insert your Swift Card to get the stored-value topped-up:
