I've had a discussion with the only other local mapper I'm aware of in Ottawa and we are proposing the following for Ottawa bus stops, which I've entered in the wiki. There is a GTFS feed available for Ottawa and verbally I've been assured the data is available under an acceptable license.<br>
<br>OC tranpo's system has a four digit number on all the stops otherwise known as the GTFS stop_code which is of value since their route planner doesn't always take into account footpaths. The GTFS stop_name is displayed internally to the driver and on a good day gets announced.<br>
<br>So this proposal is to get agreement on how the stops should be imported if need be and to give guidance to local mappers before then. <br><br>Thoughts?<br><br>Thanks John<br><br><h3><span class="mw-headline">Ottawa Bus stops </span></h3>
<p>Use the four digit number (GTFS stop_code) as the name, followed by
the GTFS stop_name if available. The number is visible on the stop and
allows the Route Planner to be used, the GTFS stop_name is displayed to
the bus driver before the stop. Two stops may have the same stop_name
but different stop_codes.
