Hi,
 
I think there are two advantages if you use segments from one to the next step 
only.
The first is you can use the segements later for routes that don´t fit in the 
hole segment.
If the bus run form A to D and than  to F instead of E. Now you have two 
segments for almost the same way  between A and D or you change all routes 
using the segment A to E.
And the secound one is that you can  find the exakt stop position as start or 
end of a segment without any  further tags for this points.
 
And last but not least I think this shema would better fit into other standards 
like GTFS or HAFAS and so on.
 
regards Jan

 Betreff: Re: [Talk-transit] a little idea for new public transport shema

Since I'm the one who proposed this initially, I'm going to add some more 
detail.

Stops on opposing sides of a street are hardly ever, exactly opposite one 
another, so usually there are 2 stop_positions. This means there will usually 
be pairs of route_segment relations, one for each direction.
 
For stops near a crossing, where some bus lines go to the right, others 
straight on and others to the left, the (high)way up to the crossing can become 
member of up to 6 relations. But that's still better than to have them as 
members of all route relations and their variations for a line.
 
Having a route_segment for each sequence of highways between two stops, is a 
possibility, but there I don't see a reason why a segment couldn't describe how 
the bus goes from A to E passing B, C and D.
 
Unfortunately, one of the advantages of the Oxomoa scheme (being able to 
oversee immediately that a route is continuous in the relation editor) would be 
lost with the use of subrelations. This can be fixed, given support is 
programmed for it in the relation editor (thinking mostly of JOSM here).
 

The biggest advantage is that now it's the route_segments wich become broken 
instead of. It's a lot easier to fix those segments once instead of fixing tens 
of route relations which would otherwise be present on those highways.
 
Lastly I want to add that in some cases (around bus stations which are mapped 
in full detail for example), there would still be a need to add (high)ways to 
the route relations themselves in some cases.Polyglot

 Hi,

i have read some mails about problems with too much relations for public 
transport lines.
Also I see a problem with stoppoints and platforms specaly by bus and tram 
lines.
 And maintain with other Data maybe not very easy esp. GTFS data.

In most systems I know there are stored segemts between two stops and these 
segments together are a lineroute.
These segemnts, I think, have some advantages:
 - only one relation for each direction on the between most stops
- no need for stoppoints because the relation starts and ends at a stoppoint 
near the platform
- easy to ad new lines because the can use existing segments
 - most flexibility because small segments ( this may be a disadvantage too 
because it need much work at the start)

regards Jan
