Hi Paul, How do passengers know where to go and stand if there are no physical markers? I think a bus stop should be able to be defined by the fact the driver knows where to halt and the passengers know where to wait. Isn't that 'convention' also some sort of ground truth? I"m sure this case happe

Hi Paul, I see what you mean now. I dropped the forward/backward roles on the ways a few years ago. Recently I thought that they should be a help for the sorting algorithm, but your example proves they aren't. I've been developing a script, which tries to use other good relations to fix the one i

Hi Paul, It helps, when you select a subset of ways and only let JOSM sort those automatically. Can you select one of the relations, then do Ctrl-Shft-h, then copy that url. Jo 2015-02-21 21:12 GMT+01:00 Paul Johnson : > Is there an easy way to map these? In JOSM, I run into problems with > tr

2015-02-21 Thread Paul Johnson
Is there an easy way to map these? In JOSM, I run into problems with trying to sort when I edit that pretty much complicates the situation to the point where I end up having to start over if I get the order wrong, and the public transport plugin isn't the most stable thing in the world. Starting t
