I've tried to persuade him to join the mailing list :)

We should already have almost all the roads that the buses go on mapped, 
so it would just be a case of buying an all day ticket, sitting on buses, 
then tagging roads afterwards.

We could perhaps do a weekend in late Novemeber or early December, if 
there's interest. (Probably not the 8th-10th December though, as I think 
most of us are already busy with the OpenGuides Oxford hackathon)

We'd also need to think how best to store the bus routes, if we'd store 
the locations of bus stops etc.
