For those who know the ins and outs of #openstreetmap - how diffcult is it to help make bus routes and time tables available in OSM? Is there some way to help out?
The busses from my city are not available right now, and it's pretty much the only reason I still have to use commercial map software.
@CarstenBoll for live busses & timetabels, I don't think OSM is the right place to put that, but rather in some combination app that reads OSM and GTFS data.
Bus lines I think do belong.

Well, wherever I can maybe help to make things available in CoMaps 😊 Sometimes these things are easy to do, but no one has the time to do them.
I'm not talking live data, just bus lines and static arrival/leave times, etc.
@CarstenBoll @svuorela @VolkerKrause it's possible to add bus routes, though not time tables (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:route%3Dbus). To actually do transit routing, you need something like @transitous
@ruben @CarstenBoll @svuorela @transitous CoMaps <-> Transitous integration is being worked on, see e.g. the "Outlook" section of https://2026.stateofthemap.org/sessions/DDJRVU/
