[OSM-talk-ie] Permission for names for Dublin Bus bus stops?‏

[Colm Moore]

Hi,

Peter Cranny is the project manager for the NTA Journey Planner. See e-mail exchange below.

I did a lot of external testing on the stops and routes for the journey planner.

Hi Colm,
 
This is the data set you need
 
http://www.transportforireland.ie/transitData/PT_Data.html

 
It is always as current as the NJP and is open data.
 
There is some doubt as to the Re-Use of PSI Licence (link on the page) being suitable for Open Street Maps.  If you find that this licence isn’t adequate
 we are happy to consider another licence that does suit the OSM community

Hi,



I've been editing OSM for the last few weeks, concentrating on railways, speed limits and land use. It gives an interesting insight into the maps part of the journey planner.



There is a current query as to whether the Dublin Bus stops database can be used as a whole. On the one hand, it is proprietary information from Dublin Bus, but on the other, I understand the NTA can (has?) taken ownership of that data and it can be reused
 under the Re-Use of Public Sector Information regulations.



You sent me a copy of the data you exported to Google Transit a while back. We would need the up to date information.




Any advice or comments welcome.



Thank you
