G'day, Yes to contacting the Ozies on au-talk.
In general I'd be careful on changing the 'old' data as some of it maybe better than the departments data, needs a judgement call. I'd think adding to it is fine - reference numbers that are missing, that kind of thing.
Adding new stops should be fine - assuming that the data is reasonable location and quality wise.
Best .. talk to the locals, enter a few examples, say 20, of the new data and state some of the conflicting stops differences between OSM and the departments data - say 10? This would give a small sample demonstration of what is intended and is easier to correct than 27,000 of them.

Yep you'll reach Victorian and Australian mappers better on talk-au as some might not join the global talk list -> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au.I'll echo other's comments here, if you are planning or have done the conflation I'd suggest sharing those results so the community can review and share feedback.On Wed, 28 Sept 2022 at 19:16, Phil Wyatt <p...@wyatt-family.com> wrote: Hi Rob, Given you are in Australia I would try the talk AU list as well. Maybe also the discord channels as there are a few Ozzie folks there in the Oceania channel with lots of transport experience.

Depending on the answer, there might be a local community that can help and provide guidance as well with the conflation/import process.

I would like your advice on how to achieve the outcome. There are a number of considerations: o Currently in the state there are ~9,100 highway:bus_stop o our GTFS - stops.txt has ~27,000 stops o the current accuracy of highway:bus_stop needs review. o stops.txt location appears to be of a much better quality My initial thought was extract current, match data location, enrich what stops.txt has then create all new and remove existing as final step. I would guess there are people screaming NOOOOO!! if so, please advise of a viable way of making such a significant Regards, Rob _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk_______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
