I agree that the issues was addressed by Sebastian's proposal, however I think 'solved' is stretching it a little. There are a number of different proposals in play at present and we urgently need to bring then together into an agreed recommendation. For the record, there were various discussions on talk-transit during late May and early June in relation to Sebastian's proposal with input from many parties including the various OSM mappers but also from the UK Department for Transport, Traveline and CEN. This conversation resulted in changes to the wiki page but was basically aborted when it became clear that this discussion was not compatible with the deadline for Sebastian's thesis on which his input to the project was based. The article was reverted to the page prior to that input and the discussion stopped. I respect his right to control the content of a page in his personal wiki-area, but it should not be referenced by the wider community as the agreed position of the community. For the record, this was the article prior to the reversion: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php?title=User:Oxomoa/Public_transport_schema&oldid=278935 Can I propose that we move this 'pre-reversion' version to the main wiki space and continue to work on the many issues raised by the proposal on this list? We will then have some robust and versatile tagging standards for transit data that will work for the longer term.
