How are Bus Routes added into OSM? I have noticed that bus routes in Basildon (my local area) are a few years out of date with some service such as the 5 and 8Ahaving been withdrawn and the route 2 being renumbered 28
My understanding is that TfL doesn't licence the information on a basis that would allow it to be directly used, so OSM rely on members of the public using the buses, or tracing the routes between bus stops.
How up to date the information is depends on how enthusiastic people are in an area, and there tends to be a preference for mapping things for the first time over maintaining existing mapping.
