Hi,

The website of the Stockholm Public Transport company website: http://sl.se/en/ is based on the OSM.

I do not know if they contribute, but the website is really effective. I used it daily recently while in Stockholm, both on a computer and a smartphone. The Stockholm Public Transport company is owned by the Stockholm County Council (1). In fact, it is the most efficient public transport system I ever saw, not only the website, but also electronic ticketing, punctuality, etc. But website is a central part. Everything is build around it. It even shows in real time minutes before a train or bus arrives, also connections, etc.

However, the most impressive is that a bus stop is shown on the map where it is really located. So I could find a bus stop without asking passersbys. I mean sometimes knowing that a bust stop is on some square is not enough, as there could be several ones in different places of this square.

Best regards,
Oleksiy

Hi,

With the Belgian community, we're making some careful progress into getting government to really integrate OSM/VGI into their data management efforts. So not talking about background maps here, real data contribution or community engagement.

There are some very specific issues and opportunities there. I believe the Canadian Census is going that way. Are there any other projects in this direction? Is there anything like a project catalogue around?
