Bus stations (including relations to describe which routes pass over those stops) are already in place, but are there any provisions for all the meta-data that might allow someone to create a route planning search that operates entirely on public transport (and/or flights, ferries etc)?
Required metadata would include (but not be limited to!): * timetable information and exclusions * exact geographical location of the various stops, e.g. the same company might depart from terminal A stop 12 for a given destination or a completely different terminal for another destination. * lists of stops made and their timings * metadata about the transport, e.g. type of bus/comforts/features, same for planes etc * connecting delays that need to be factored in (e.g. walk or subway/tube between stations) Does this information even belong in OSM? It seems quite suitable to storing it, and things like the stop locations and terminal locations, ticket office locations are ideal in OSM of course, but the structuring of the timetables and connections perhaps less so? Thanks!
