They absolutely loved the public transport map (www.öpnvkarte.de <http://www.xn--pnvkarte-m4a.de>) which has the bus stops along with bus/train/tube/DLR/tram routes. It's very similar to the cycle map, only most OSM mappers cycle everywhere whilst few find the public transport particularly useful. So limited to us, perhaps. Later this year if I get some time and I'm not elected in the local elections I intend to spend some more time with tenants helping them to put the data in since they find it handy.
