[Talk-ca] Bus stops in Ottawa

[john whelan]

One of the tags has a value that is only available from the GTFS file.  You
still have the problem of multiple bus stops mapped in one location.  It
maybe possible to work with the city of Ottawa on this one but one problem
they have identified is open data being used but not updated.

I think both you and I feel there is a lot of very useful data published by
the City of Ottawa I'd like to see in OSM but at the moment I can't see a
way.

Sorry John
