[OSM-talk] OSM for government

[Oleksiy Muzalyev]

Hi,

The website of the Stockholm Public Transport company website: 
http://sl.se/en/ is based on the OSM.

I do not know if they contribute, but the website is really effective. 
I  used it daily recently while in Stockholm, both on a computer and a 
smartphone. The Stockholm Public Transport company is owned by the 
Stockholm County Council (1). In fact, it is the most efficient public 
transport system I ever saw, not only the website, but also electronic 
ticketing, punctuality, etc. But website is a central part. Everything 
is build around it. It even shows in real time minutes before a train or 
bus arrives, also connections, etc.

However, the most impressive is that a bus stop is shown on the map 
where it is really located. So I could find a bus stop without asking 
passersbys. I mean sometimes knowing that a bust stop is on some square 
is not enough, as there could be several ones in different places of 
this square.

Best regards,
Oleksiy
