Re: [Talk-transit] Real time information

For the stops that I have in mind, the url with the real time information
is the only site I will want to link to, so the tag 'url' would do just
fine. If there is an additional website for that particular stop, we could
use 'website'. The advantage is that all tools already work with this tag.

[Talk-transit] Real time information

2019-11-28 Thread A A
What do you think about the possibility of standardizing the use of a url in 
"departures_board" or "passenger_information_display" tags to be able to report 
arrival times in real time at a stop or train / subway / bus station? Many 
operators have real time information about arrival time in its website.

I think it can be very useful information. If it is added in a simple way 
through a tag, it could be easily implemented by mapping and navigation 
software and used for navigation in public transport or simply for querying the 
waiting time at a specific stop or public transport station.

I think "departures_board" or "passenger_information_display" tags are more 
convenient than "website" or "url" tags because these may be used with other 
url (for example an url with general information about the station) and  
"departures_board" or "passenger_information_display" are more specific tags.
