does the bus stop always at the same stop? Where would you wait if you wanted 
to take the bus at this stop? Or is it just for getting off?

If someone pulls the cord or there's someone waiting at it, yes.  But it's
not like a bus station where the bus will always stop regardless of demand.


> Where would you wait if you wanted to take the bus at this stop?


Next to the road roughly guesstimating the closest safe spot for the driver
to stop at.  Occasionally an advertising company will notice the presence
of passengers waiting and drop a bench with a billboard on it, but the
city, the transit agency and/or the landowner they left it on are somewhat
quick to remove them.

 No, you can board, too.

[Talk-us] How to map deviation areas for routes?

2015-03-08 Thread Paul Johnson
Here in Tulsa (and apparently Wichita as well, along with Cherokee Nation
Transit, Kibois Area Transit System, and presumably most midwestern
agencies) have a concept of "deviation area" on their routes.  In such a
case, you can be picked up or dropped off anyplace they can fit a bus
(usually a 15-to-30 passenger Ford Econoline or Freightliner Sprinter-based
straight-van bus conversion), assuming you either call in advance for
pickup, or let the driver know where you want out when you board.  What's
the best way to get this into OSM?

[Talk-us] Mappy hour tomorrow!

2015-03-08 Thread Martijn van Exel
Hey all,

It's time for Mappy Hour tomorrow! I changed the time slot to 11am Pacific
/ 2pm Eastern, let's try that a few weeks and see if it works for more
people. Let me know.

https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/cpiqg6sldpjconoipvhmd3skhcc

We will start doing a theme as promised, I just don't know what it should
be and haven't had time to think about it. Any suggestions?

Sorry you can't make it Jack.

The direct hangout link is here - I think:
https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/event/cpiqg6sldpjconoipvhmd3skhcc
Sorry, Google+ makes it really hard to just share a link to an event. I
still don't quite understand how it works.
