Hi Daniel, Wow that is a lot. I looked at http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=qroti#keys and was considering these as candidates for removal and replacement with the new gtfs data / positioning.
I presume nodes tagged without these key:value tags would come under the standard duplication checks you've described. That said I expect that the qroti tagged nodes could also be handled in the same way with an extra step for this dataset to remove those key:value tags as a post process step (OR as a pre-process step if that is more appropriate). Importantly, we'd need to update the qroti wiki page ( with information about this import and the actions taken to remove this information). I've just signed up to the import list too. Re: Go-Sync I note that one of the assumptions that software operates under is "that few bus stops have already been mapped in OSM for the city served by the agency" with a bolded section directly under that assumption in the Wiki noting "*GO_Sync should not be used in areas where the local OSM mapping community has already mapped a substantial number of the agency's bus stops."* Cheers, Jason On 26 December 2013 12:14, Daniel O'Connor <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > >> Bus stops sounds great although there is a stack load (thousands) of >> existing Brisbane Stops imported from a no longer accessible source (QROTI) >> https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/QROTI >> (Here is a quick example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/739929) >> > > http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1RH - JOSM tells me there's 8,000+ > > >> >> I'm more than happy to help out with importing although I don't know >> which way to jump on this because of potential route degradation the >> removal of existing stops will bring with it but I also acknowledge that >> the existing data is potentially incorrect given it is no longer maintained. >> >> If there is any way to review routes that have stop nodes >> (highway:bus_stop and public_transport:platform) associated to them that >> would be a good indicator of impact to these relations. >> > > http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1RI > > >> If the ratio of stops to route relations is low enough then it would be >> grounds for removing all stops and adding them back into the route >> relations once the import was complete.
