I've just gotten permission to use data for the Fairfax County, Virginia, USA bus system, called the Fairfax Connector. There are over 4,000 bus stops and 65 routes, though this is not counting the WMATA bus routes which visit many of the same stops. I've created a page on the wiki for this data: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Fairfax_Connector
There is a wealth of information in this data, with 130 fields per bus stop, including details like the presence of a shelter, bench, lighting, trash can, etc. Many of these fields have no relevance to OSM, which is something I'm working through. If you're interested visit the wiki page to see a list of the fields and the top five occurring values. I'd appreciate any feedback and/or participation. And don't worry, I'm not going to perform a massive import without notice. Most likely we'd merge data manually for the 200 bus stops already present in the county, then import the rest once a field mapping is decided upon. -Josh _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
