I've had a quick look at a couple of the PlusBusZones (once inadvertently, as
the name is rendering
inappropriately on the Mapnik map): Nottingham and Maidenhead. In both cases
boundaries are only
approximate, and appear to be delimited by bus stops rather than routes (e.g.,
service 6 in Maidenhead travels
along A308, and through the Pinkneys Green area, but AFAIK does not stop). The
Nottingham one is of particular
interest to me as the available literature shows an extremely fuzzy map with no
indications of the precise limits of
the zone.
On the routes where I know the limit of the city-wide tickets (CityRider,
Kangaroo) the edges of the zone are from
100-200 metres out. I wonder how we can improve this mapping in OSM. For
instance I could ensure that the
PlusBus zone polygon shared nodes with the bus stops at the Blue Bell,
Attenborough, and the
Sherwin Arms, Bramcote. There is one other issue: the Nottingham Tram (NET)
extends to Hucknall,
and I think the relevant tram stops are included in the PlusBus scheme, but
buses are not. The Kangaroo
includes the tram and also train services between Hucknall, Attenborough,
Carlton and Nottingham.
