That's not true. You'll see we have the SA Adelaide Metro GTFS through the SA government CC BY waiver, QLD's Translink, NSW's TfNSW, ACT's ACTION I sent waiver's but haven't received them back completed yet. In the case of QLD there was an explicit permission, from before the waiver's and TMR is already providing the waiver for the state road centerlines, so would probably be open to the their GTFS as well, but we don't have it. In NSW TfNSW are very OpenStreetMap friendly with their trip planner https://transportnsw.info using OpenStreetMap for routing and maps, and although we don't have the waiver yet, I'm still expecting it will be provided. Stepping back, there are a lot of bus routes in NSW and they do change over time, it would be a huge effort to map them all out, keep them up to date, current and maintained (they break sometimes when people edit the road network). Given the GTFS data is already open, is it worth that effort? > It would be 'nice' to get this data into OSM for bus routes in public > transport v2. > > Before I start experimenting (not importing at this stage - just want to see > what is involved), as there any comment s... like "no - copyright withdrawn" > etc? _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
