Hi Nikhil, Thank you very much for the details. I appreciate your time and effort for this detailed mail. Overpass turbo is definitely a great tool for data exporting.
But unfortunately, I am looking bus routes of individual buses which are running in Mangalore. For example : Bus No Bus Route 1 State Bank – Car Street – Mannagudda – Ladyhill – Chilimbi – Urva Stores – Kavoor – MCF colony – Kunjathbail. I have the bus stops with me, But not sure of the roads it is traveling through. If I can receive some info regarding this, that would be more helpful.
