Hi!

If there any guide how i can add bus route on OSM (in Web version of editor) ?

Seems now it's quite complicated and yet there no plans to make it simpler in Web interface?

If it would be like: you push "create route (bus or whatever)" -> choose road and select bus stops on it one way. Also, you do same from end stop to backward

Really hope developers could do that favor 📿

Thanks

I wrote some open source software[1] many years ago for mapping out bus routes, their stops, timetables, and everything else. It's pretty old and probably only runs on linux.

It will let you generate GTFS data (the standard for transit), and then there are OSM importers for GTFS data.

The nice thing, is that since GTFS data has routes, stops, timetables, holidays, ..., it will work with any of the routers with OSM.

Looks sweet. Under Win i should better use VM or Linux Subsystem ? Seems by README.MD Windows problem still there? Thanks
