I just wanted to point out that the crowdfunding campaign from the Nicaraguan OSM community is not to make the first bus map in the country (we already had a successful campaign that allowed us to achieve that), but to * improve the accuracy bus frequency data in Managua by having volunteers (who would get stipends) surveying with the Flocktracker mobile application * convert the data into GTFS (a common format for digital public transport information) * make the information publicly available * assess the impacts of doing so, thanks to the hard work of MIT researchers There are already data collected on bus lines schedules, but our goal is to make it much more accurate.
