Description
Hi,
Creating routes, particularly for bus services, is a very laborious and time-consuming task for a mapper. It would be a huge boost to innovation if JOSM were to incorporate a route planner that simply required you to click on the stop locations, after which it would generate a route. One would then simply need to adjust the generated route to the actual path by dragging it into place.
A model for the graphical and tecnical implementation: https://brouter.de/brouter-web

That would be a first step in the right direction. If I’ve understood correctly, only part of the data is available free of charge, but that would be sufficient as a starting point.
I see more of a problem with the licence: CC BY 4.0, particularly this part:
Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the licence, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.
It would probably be wise to have this checked first by a few people who are well versed in the matter.
But as a supplementary step, I would still include the route planner, as it would allow routes to be adjusted quickly and easily for an online map.



Would a GTFS import do it for you? If that's the case, I already have a working solution, just need some more time to polish the code.
It's more like a pipeline, due to the complexity.
