hello all, i'd like to review/finish mapping of bus/tram network during my stay in bern (ch) and do this right so that no time is wasted fixing my mistakes. i read through wiki pages but there're still some points open. for my examples to be more explanatory please open the following osm file which i'll be referring to. the download url is http://nic-nac-project.org/~jose1711/donotdelete/bus_route.osm
i consider bus 1 route to be the correct way of entering a simple route. backward/forward rules are based on the way's orientation, not Terminus A -> Terminus B or vice versa orientation just as the wiki says. what to do though when it's not really clear what way does the bus stop belong to like in bus route 2? how do i know if it's forward or backward role i should use when i don't know to which way the bus stop is connected. consider that i may not be able to change orientation (situation: oneway for cars, buses can drive both directions). also, does the ways (segments) in relation need to be ordered or this is mandatory for bus stops only? next thing. i have seen many osm users create bus routes such as route 4, while i think the correct way is route 3. am i correct? thank you for your comments, jozef _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
