Re: [OSM-dev] Real time in public transport
Website or url tags are a good idea, in fact I have used them in some cases but I don't know if it would be better to write the link in the Departures_board tag in case any station has a website to not duplicate the website tag.

Re: [OSM-dev] Real time in public transport
Hello All, This is a large interactive web page. Can be bit difficult to load on a mobile. Is the real time bus arrival information available via API? In Sydney we used to have an SMS service, given a bus stop ID it would output information in the format "339 - 12:34 - in 5 mins (on time) L94 - 12:39 - in 10 mins (delayed by 2 mins)" for bus departures from this stop during the next ~10-15 mins. I think now they provide the real time information via a standard API in "Google format" but it is quite difficult to follow... -- Svetlana ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
Re: [OSM-dev] Real time in public transport
I was considering to use the 'url' tag for a link to the real-time passing times of our stops in Flanders, Belgium: https://www.delijn.be/nl/haltes/halte/303058 or http:/mijnlijn.be/303058, which expands to the above url. the stop's id number is already contained in ref:De_Lijn for all these stops, I might drop the ref:De_Lijn tag if/when I do that.

I think it can be very useful information. If it is added in a simple way through a tag, it could be easily implemented by mapping and navigation software and used for navigation in public transport or simply for querying the waiting time at a specific public transport station. Is there perhaps some website with that information (an actual departure board, not a vague "link to timetables")? If so, wouldn't the "website" tag work for that, like at https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2083241360 ? Incidentally, there's a whole mailing list designed for "how to tag X" questions over at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging . It's probably a better fit for what you're taking about than here, which is more to do with software development and tile hosting stuff.

[OSM-dev] Real time in public transport
Hello everyone! What do you think about the possibility of adding a url to the "departures_board" or "passenger_information_display" tag to be able to report arrival times in real time at a train / subway / bus station? I think it can be very useful information. If it is added in a simple way through a tag, it could be easily implemented by mapping and navigation software and used for navigation in public transport or simply for querying the waiting time at a specific public transport station. I think we should agree on how to enter this data and include this way in our mapping practice. ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
