wording in OSM, GTFS, Transmodel differs

NAPs in Europe often like a bazar

only few countries publish stop data, mainly northern and central Europe

https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/vUh6Y/

Iceland has data, too

weekly analysis: https://gtfs.mfdz.de/delfi

differences between official data and OSM

VeriBus project: verify stop positions from aerial imagery

ptsa derive single stop from group of objects, https://gauss.whz.de/ptsa

github zhv issue tracker noticed of authorities

Switzerland: works, on platform level, do comparison with OSM (student work), ATLAS, open source

DB (Germany): look at OSM and provide updates (currently on a small level)

Bulgaria: start building stop registry, based on Norwegian system, NeTEx

Feedback to authorities/operators?

Norway: feedback button in app (not for locations)

Germany: E-Mail / https://github.com/mfdz/zhv-issues

stops for school buses not public transport

France switches stop IDs from time to time

ERA works on European railway station registry

GTFS diff tool (French NAP)
