<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Wow, that is great news. Hopefully they will choose for an open data license which is compatible with ODBL.<br><br></div>For the stops of De Lijn, we are repositioning them manually before uploading to OSM. There are 4000 left to do (stops which are served by buses). The decalage shouldn't be a problem. It is reassuring that they are using the 'stop position' of their buses when the doors open to let people board. All those buses have GPSs aboard and they are taking the center of the 'cloud' of points.<br>
</div>So most of those positions should be quite accurate.<br><br></div>Anyway, we shouldn't 'import' them wholesale as they come, but rather trickle them in checking them. I hope they include zone information. De Lijn doesn't and looking up the zones takes most of the time processing them.<br>
<br></div>I also hope they will provide csv files with dumps from their DB like De Lijn does. This enables me to generate route relations with all stops in the order they are served.<br><br></div>Cheers,<br><br>Polyglot<br>

May be you missed this :<br>

<br>
tldr; : The TEC will open datasets, they made the announce last week at<br>
Ghent.<br>
<br>
I made some research and did not found any data yet. But I found those<br>
datasets, *WHICH ARE STILL NOT REFERENCED AS OPEN DATA* and therefore<br>
may not be integrated into OSM :<br>

<br>
I checked the data in QGIS with orthophoto from the waloon regio, and<br>
there are some decalage (I do not know the word in English). We must use<br>
those data carefully fi those files are published later. :-)<br>
<br>
A last word: Champs Libres produced this map :<br>

, extracting geographical data from the OSM database. We saw that 12<br>
stations were missing, and we corrected them into OSM :-). We may think<br>
that all railway stations in Wallonia are registered now (but maybe not<br>
entirely correctly... some were weird, like area next to the railways, ...).<br>
