[OSM-newbies] Bus routes?

[Andy Robinson (blackadder-lists)]

We have been doing a lot of route bus route mapping in our area:

http://www.mappa-mercia.org/public-transport-map.shtml

We use route_ref on the bus stop nodes as a semi colon separated list. Here
is an example:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/369543445

Then to show the routes on the map we create a route relation, here is one
of the routes running through the same bus stop:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/225792

The bus stops that the bus stops at are also added to this relation.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Andy
