From my experience working with GTFS it's difficult because the operators usually don't include all the information but the fact of having GTFS support it's a great step

Re:Telegram's getting ads on Thursday December 24, 2020 @05:25AM (#25526391)
Someone at gizmondo don't like Telegram,the Durov original message says the oposite:

> 5. All parts of Telegram devoted to messaging will remain ad-free. We think that displaying ads in private 1-to-1 chats or group chats is a bad idea. Communication between people should be free of advertising of any sort.

Re:Openstreetmap, a global map for worldwide insight on Friday July 03, 2020 @06:00AM (#23722647)
I edited OSM for 10 years and in my opinion it depends of the zone. In my zone the comunity it's organized, the people checks strange edits and also have comunity projects. For example we detected that there was a lot of streets without name some years ago and we made tools to control the streets without name and worked on it, now about the 90% of the streets have a name. As I said for me the problem it's that the quality of information it's not homogenous
