Very rarely reply to this list but I have to absolutely agree with you. OSM is a data project far, far more than a cartography or neogeography project.

Sorry, I didn't want to attack you. I know it's not easy to make a map, but I see a map making as an other project, next to OSM. It's good that OSM has it's own map, so mappers kan see their changes, but it's not OSM's core business. OSM is more than data for maps, it also has to provide data for routing software, like maxspeeds, forbidden turns ... I think a timetable would be part of that. So there can be efficient routing software for public transport.

These are just my thoughts, I don't want to offend someone, I admire all people working on projects like this for free, be it map making, programming, mapping ...

        @ Michal: I know about öpnvkarte, but I keep mapping public
        transport routes. The ultimate goal is the data, maps and
        routes are good but not necessary.


    The ultimate goal of OSM is the map, not the data. Feel free to do
    an overlay website, but are you sure what you're getting into?
    Good luck.
