Today I mapped my 200th bus stop in Delhi, which makes up 42% of the bus stops there. [1]

As my edit history must make apparent, I’m mapping like mad these days, which sort of worries me. Nearly all the edits I see in my region’s history are mine, excluding the gigantic transcontinental commits.

Haven’t met any local mappers yet. It’s not the easiest thing to do, given that all the nearby accounts I’ve seen are either non-contributors or simply profile spammers. I’m aware of Nearby users and the tools it mentions, and I’ve given them a spin…I guess I need to put in more effort.

[1] I obtain these figures by using the Overpass Turbo query “(highway=bus_stop or public_transport=platform) in Delhi” to download in a fresh instance of JOSM [2], selecting all the objects, and looking in the Authors pane; I need to discount two bus stops which I mapped as areas rather than the usual nodes.

[2] Back to using JOSM, but now in conjunction with OsmAnd and with less Osmtracker. The time finally came for me to start making bus route relations instead of just writing down bus routes in note= fields.
