Positions of trains is currently being worked on (basically getting the
specifications etc.) There is some preliminary support for positions of
some busses for one bus company that has this data 'sometimes'
available. For about 50% of all Dutch busses the data is currently being
collected per minute for management and Dynamic Travel Information
Publishing. In principle 2011 would allow to connect to that 'huge' mass.

What we made available on the Dutch OSM mirror is busstops, and 'known'
bus routes. But some routes still need to be integrated. Anyway I hope a
suite datamodel is defined, topology based.

Sounds like a job for XSLT ;)

Ok, well if you have data we can try and import into transiki db, I
will look into it.
so you have the position of the trains?

Also we need to look at generating wikipedia articles on the routes
like the have for the paris and ny metros.

Ok Stefan, I am sorry that I have not read about all these things you

Most of our data goes into OpenStreetMap and does not come from 
OpenStreetMap. OpenStreetMap is primary used for geo-semantical stuff 
recovery.


In The Netherlands, by law, any transit provider has to offer their data 
to any national transit routing provider. Inventive as we are the 
government even defined a standard for that called 'BISON' they are 
focussing now on the european variant. In every respect both are bloated 
and the Dutch one is plain ugly. But like OSM, it works.


Level 1 is basically the static and positional data. The aditional levels 
include updates and realtime information exchange.



All this was done prior to the deployment of the Dutch National Databank 
for Public Transport data. Our insentive is basically to help define, and 
implement a reference infrastructure for this 'hub'. This reference might 
become the actual thing.



Train information is a sperate issue, currently there is a realtime system 
that manages that located at the governmental company that manages the 
complete traininfrastructure (opposed to the companies that drive the 
trains on them). The idea is to have their system as client to ours, and 
inject the data that can be subscribed to.


Because our system is primary targeted to The Netherlands and to data 
exchange, opposed to harvesting as much as you can eat, the documents are 
in dutch, but easy to translate. I wouldn't mind to send in a lot of 
Dutch content to your project. But please understand that timetables is 
something that is in the process of being phased out anyway... and routes 
are basically 'trivial' to get.

where you show either, where the things SHOULD BE, or another feed

I'm a little overwhelmed and haven't had the time to review patches sent in, 
update the site etc.

So, if you are a rails person or want to be and have a couple of hours please 
have a look at transiki. Anyone contributing will be sent an I Love You bean.


If it is like OSM then I think you are focussing on static data. Hence it 
would be as non-innovative as Google Transit. For a Dutch variant 
OpenOV.nl (Open Public Transport) we go beyond static data, we go for 
realtime positioning and sharing this information using open standards and 
open protocols.


This data is available as well for many governments, transit providers, 
etc.. And best of all, we are only a HUB to the data.



So I hope people realise that they can request the same data as Google 
does. And going realtime is where you want to be in 2011.
