Again, I am not criticizing the project from data point of view. Data-wise it is very good.
OK.
But it's too difficult to learn, and really unnecessary in many cases.
This is a different problem and basically has nothing to do with the proposal itself.
I'm a public transport fanatic. But nearly one year I did not even map one simple bus stop. When I tried (and I mean really tried) to map public transport I knew relations and roles and I was already familiar with subrelations. With the first (pretended simple) bus route I tried to map I already was not able to map correctly and complete.
I began searching for alternatives and found Oxomoa, unified stoparea, stop place and others. All are created because the current schema is not able to represent all eventualities. And many bus routes have their specialities.
As a newbie-public-transport-mapper I did not know which flavor of schema I should use to map my special bus route. The jungle of possible schema is already densely wooded. But none of the schema has an approved status. So everyone uses another schema. In my eyes the absolutely worsted case.
I accepted a lot of criticism and added, changed and extended a lot. I am open to change my proposal. I am also open to approve a completely different schema. Michał, please feel free to tell me what to change to improve the proposal. To say this proposal has a "bad learning curve" may be correct, but it does not help further.
