Just an FYI/general info announcement. I'm working with fellow mapper
MDroads<http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/mdroads> (and any other OSM
editors of course) to map bus routes of Maryland Transit Administration bus
lines throughout the Baltimore region of Maryland.
Thanks for sharing about this project!
I'm doing my best to adhere to
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Public_transport though the relations for
stops are*very* tedious. Therefore, phase one has been getting the route
relations mapped. Once complete, I'll look at adding bus stops as
public_transport=platform.
I tagged bus stops as both public_transport=platform and
highway=bus_stop. This has the side benefit of being recognized by
more data consumers and renderers.
The Public Transport plugin for JOSM helps a bit in adding streets to
a route, but probably not much help in adding stops to the route
relation. To clarify:
Each stop does not require its own separate relation.
Each stop *may* be added to the bus route relations which stop
there. But even then, if some other organization is creating a GTFS
dataset, including stops in the route relation is optional in my opinion.
The Wiki does refer to a public_transport=platform relation for a
bus station - there may be a number of these in the Baltimore area.
