As some of you know, I'm a big 'bus' guy on OSM. I've not imported (or tried to) Maryland MTA bus stops for the reason Serge mentions in point 2. I wasn't able to be at the meeting tonight, so perhaps can you fill us in in number 3 Serge?
Did you chat with the user? Wondering their thoughts. By the way, check out Changeset: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/16433011 ... Wow! That's like basically all the work I've done in Baltimore over several months in one big changeset. Incredible! I wonder how they kept the data current while working on this. It had to have taken a long time if done by hand. Back on topic: If the user can't produce a reply for number 1, then I'd say revert. -Elliott On Mon, Jun 17, 2013 at 11:24 PM, Serge Wroclawski <[email protected]>wrote: > Hello all, > > There was an import done of MTA bus stops in New York City in this > changeset: > > http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/14248420 > > There are a number of problems with this changeset: > > 1.
