[Talk-ca] Bus stops and recommended cycle routes in Ottawa

Has anyone sorted out what can be done yet?

There is a gtfs file available but it appears to be under an Ottawa city
license which doesn't appear to permit importing it into OSM.

The other hassle is currently there is little consistency in things like how
the 4 digit 560 number is stored or if a bus shelter is labelled or even who
the operator is which could be Greyhound or STO as well as OC.

Currently it appears to be a bit hit and miss which is a pity as currently
OSM is the only source that shows the footpaths leading to bus stops.

Cycle routes again these are in Google but some recommended routes appear in
the city's printed maps but because there is nothing visible on the ground
they cannot be included in OSM because of licensing  restrictions.

Thanks John
