[Imports] Import: Open Digiroad bus stop data to OSM

[Илья Зверев]

First, thanks for opening the data and for starting an initiative to import all finnish bus stops into OSM.

Did you consider using osm_conflate / cf_audit for importing? It would greatly simplify an effort to conflate the data, and would provide a ready-made framework for adjusting bus stops position to imagery before the import is uploaded.

Digiroad is a national road and street database administrated by the Finnish Transport Agency (FTA). Inspired by the conversations we have created a bus stop import pilot project. The purpose of the pilot is to complement OSM’s bus stop data with data from Digiroad.

The aim of the mapathon is to move the Digiroad stops from the original center line geometry location to the actual bus stop shelter or pole location, and more tags can also be added in process.
