[OSM-talk-be] SNCF & OSM France - how about Belgium?

[Jo]

Hi Pieter,

We are interested in all that is geographic, this includes multimodal
routing, so PT is certainly a part of that. (Not so much the schedules
though, that needs to be handeld by the routing engine).

You know I'm working hard on integrating the data of De Lijn and I was
hoping to be able to do the same for TEC and MIVB/STIB, at some point, but
I've been reading some of your publications and I understand they are not
at all keen on opening up their data, to put it mildly. As far as MIVB/STIB
goes, this seems weird, as they were the first to work together with Google.

I think Ben Laenen has been drawing many railways. Would SNCB/NMBS be
willing to share the locations of their stations and railroad tracks?
Mostly the railroad tracks and the naming of the lines. I think we already
have all the stations. The UrbIS data also contains all the railways in the
region of Brussels.

The data is in constant flux though. So it would be nice to get some sort
of feed when stations are abolished/created anew.

I think we would also be interested in a list of stations where trains
call, but no tickets can be bought, or opening hours of the windows. Which
stations have vending machines and their locations.

Kind regards,

Jo
