Hopefully it's the latter, so that the OSM community can look at the data, the tags, etc and can help with the process. We certainly don't want to just delete the existing 109 stops, but rather update them with the new tags/position (if appropriate). While somewhat tedious, merging 109 stops (with JOSM's merge command) won't take too terribly long, and is a crucial step to take. If you don't wish to do this step, then consider uploading the data for others to use. I started a conflation plugin for JOSM [0] intended exactly for this purpose, for my county's bus data (~4000). The algorithm works quite well, but I got stalled when designing the user interface for reconciling differences. I'd like to finish it but like Ian said, I've been too busy in real life to continue at the moment. -Josh [0]: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Conflation/Nodes
