My question was really a way to ask 'what format should bus routes be tagged in so that software can use them?'. I _think_ that the above example is using the relations and not the route_ref on individual stops. The trouble is, route_ref is directly marked on the ground. The path followed by a bus in the correct order, although it is more useful information, is also harder to discover. In the time it took to ride on a bus from Croydon to Crystal Palace, or wherever, I could map a hundred streets and other POIs. It's a pity that Transport for London's data feeds are under unsuitable terms. Perhaps at least we can make sure that OSM contains all the bus stops with the necessary tags to cross-reference them against the TfL data set. I don't know what the situation is in other areas. -- Ed Avis <e...@waniasset.com> _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
