Very few other maps currently do this (although Google Transit is also making improvements in this area). Whilst OpenStreetMap is probably not the place for full timetable information, adding information about public transport infrastructure and services to the map means that we can provide basic routing services. Unlike with walking and driving, where it's enough for maps to simply describe the street and footpath layout, allowing people to decide their own route and schedule, with public transport, we need to describe the infrastructure (e.g., the train tracks) as well as the services which operate on them (e.g., bus lines, express trains and local trains). Public transport provides an alternative which is often faster, more environmentally sustainable, and sometimes even more convenient. The main role of street maps has generally been to help people navigate when walking, or when using private motor vehicles on the public highway system. ![]() Introduction Why do we map public transport in OpenStreetMap? 2.6 Cable cars, chair lifts, gondolas, etc.1.1 Why do we map public transport in OpenStreetMap?.
