what we found-crowdsourcing makes data collection faster-errors in of�cial data source-gaps in public transport coverage-patterns in bus route numbers-key transit locations-site analysis data

how openstreetmap helped-�exible database-crowdsourcing for map data-lets anyone add features-makes the map dynamic-map data entirely opensource

what else we can crowdsource-translate entire dataset into local language-location of each bus stop-addition of other transport links and ways-clean and �x of�cial data-expand database to make it more rich
