I've been thinking for some time about putting together a database of methods to access public transport schedules for places around the world, it could be python code snippets or even better javascript code or something else. The public transport operator in my city has a quite bad API but it can be queried for schedules with some effort and works, and apparently there's something like that on national level for UK judging from http://www.öpnvkarte.de/naptan.html I wanted to add something similar to öpnvkarte for my own city but couldn't find who to contact for öpnvkarte, and thought it would be great to have some kind of open database with all those methods + served area limits, for example as something like a wiki table (can't believe I'm saying this) that services like öpnvkarte could query.

I like this idea, for some Dutch .NET based sites I have build some interfaces for sucking them out. If you want to set something up like this.

[OSM-talk] fwd: Two thirds of mobile users want driving AND walking navigation
http://www.mobile-ent.biz/news/36033/MWC-2010-Two-thirds-of-mobile-users-want-driving-AND-walking-navigation MWC 2010: Two thirds of mobile users want driving AND walking navigation by Stuart Dredge | Email a friend | PrintAdd a comment Two legs good, four tyres not necessarily better A survey conducted by Nokia's mapping division Navteq claims that at least two thirds of mobile users want their mobile navigation services to offer both driving and walking directions. The study also appears to show that mobile navigation is picking up steam fast. Two thirds or more of people currently using maps or directions on their phones have been doing it for less than a year, while a third have only been doing it for six months. Meanwhile, the proportion of people making daily or weekly use of mobile navigation apps was between 33% and 40% across the nine countries surveyed. Getting back to those walkers, though. Navteq says it's identified four features requested by large numbers of users when they're on foot. They are: public transport information including real-time data; “logical guidance” which can provide specific pedestrian routing and shortcuts; visual cues during guidance such as landmarks; and micro maps of destinations such as airports and shopping malls -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
