I've been adding bus routes in my area, and I'd quite like a way of viewing them... it'd promote people recording them as well. Is there any move toward doing this? All the best Joel Hi,

Has there been any progress lately on an open bus/public transport layer? I’ve been adding bus routes in my area, and I’d quite like a way of viewing them… it’d promote people recording them as well. Is there any move toward doing this?

All the best
Joel

I have the impression those are the only efforts of writing conventions for walking routes.

In Germany there's lots of use of "hiking", in London there's "ldp" (for long distance path) and like you say there's other stuff in the NL. I think because nothing is rendered or used there's no standards yet! Seems to be a wide mixture.

I found nothing in the wiki about it. In Belgium and the Netherlands we're tagging as "nwn" for long distance paths crossing the country, "rwn" for the walking node networks (yeah, we really like those node networks :-) ) and "lwn" for the small themed routes (usually loops of 10-15km). Basically to make it just like the cycle nodes because the routes are similar, so it makes sense if you did the same in the UK :-) What are the tags being used for the walking routes in the UK?

I've heard you're looking at displaying multiple routes side by side as well, that will be very interesting for relations like bus routes. I'll certainly have a look at adding walking routes to the green map we're making of Sutton with OSM data & tools. Very nice!
