Hello, I've recently found an open data set with more accurate bus stop names than OSM. Based on my limited survey of differences in OSM data and this data, theirs has been more accurate. Not really surprising, since it's there network, and most of the OSM data hasn't been updated since the naptan import nearly a decade ago.
I intent to start updating OSM based on this data. The legal mailing list has OK'ed this as it's OGLv3. I won't be importing any nodes, but I do intend for it to be "machine assisted". I will create a report similar to https://gregrs.dev.openstreetmap.org/fhrs/ where I will then go through on a node by node basis and decide if the node should be updated. Any tag I edit I will add source:name=Southern Vectis, and leave the naptan:CommonName untouched. While I do this I could also upgrade from highway=bus_stop to public_transport=platform, bus=yes. Keeping the legacy tags as the wiki recommends. I will be using this data set https://www.islandbuses.info/open-data the same data set is available for more regions, but at the moment I don't intent to use them, a local mapper would be better suited. https://www.discoverpassenger.com/2019/06/25/open-data-portals-go- ahead-group/ Any comments?
