[Talk-transit] TTC - Toronto, Canada data available
Hi all, if any of you are on the talk-ca list, you might have seen that the city of Toronto opened up their data, and TTC info is in there. Does anyone have a clear method/approach that worked for dealing with the data? Is it better to have scheduals embedded in the stop? & a route relation? -is there a standard tagging method? -or is it better to keep the data out of OSM, but just have it as an external database layer (considering the complexity & the high rate of change) Thanks, Sam -- Twitter: @Acrosscanada Blog: http://Acrosscanadatrails.blogspot.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/sam.vekemans OpenStreetMap IRC: http://irc.openstreetmap.org @Acrosscanadatrails -- Twitter: @Acrosscanada Blog: http://Acrosscanadatrails.blogspot.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/sam.vekemans OpenStreetMap IRC: http://irc.openstreetmap.org @Acrosscanadatrails ___ Talk-transit mailing list Talk-transit@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit

Technically it is easily possible: All stops imported during the NaPTAN import have a tag called naptan:NaptanCode. This tag can be used to request real-time information (e.g. via text messages). In the West Midlands area this information can also be accessed via http://netwm.mobi/. So, theoretically you could simple display an overlay with bus stops in OpenLayers (like Novam [1] does) and automatically query netwm.mobi when the user clicks on a stop and display the netwm's output in a popup. However, I reckon there are legal problems with this approach :-) Cheers, Christoph > Cheers. > > > > -- > pratite me na twitteru - www.twitter.com/valentt > http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/ > linux, blog, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless > registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, > http://counter.li.org.

The problem is that you need real-time data from the bus route operators to know where their busses are. Since this data is constantly changing Openstreetmap is -- in my opinion -- not the right place for it. It would also be handy to have the timetables in a database as well; I am not aware that anyone is adding timetables at the moment and again I would not use OSM for that. Nonetheless it would be really cool to produce such a map.

[Talk-transit] Real-Time Bus Map
http://googlemapsmania.blogspot.com/2009/10/real-time-bus-map.html Is this possible with OpenStreetMap? I would like to make Real Time Bus Map for my home town. We have created bus and tram relation tracks and this would be the next step, if possible.
