Hi,
As I'm running an association of a school's parents in Vernier (GE), we'd like to show on a map (preferably OSM) the pedibus way.
Is there a way to add a pedibus in openstreetmap ? Once it exists on OSM, is it possible to display it with an URL ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Cédric
There is an existing tagging scheme for such routes see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FR:Relation:route#Transports_publics which however uses the same values as a hiking routes which is probably not such a good idea. There is currently no dedicated value for the stops (but we can invent one on the fly), which IMHO would be a good as there is a danger of them being confused with "real" bus stops.
I would suggest using a map on umap.osm.ch for visualisation, it will need a query to retrieve the data from the Overpass API, but that should be reasonably simple.
Alternatively (if adding the data to OSM is too involved for you), you could simply draw the route on umap.osm.ch.

PS: off topic: here (just outside of Zürich) our kids are supposed to walk on their own (without adult supervision) starting with Kindergarten.

Since I didn't know what a Pedibus was (as I live in Belgium), I looked it up. a.o. I found http://www.pedibus.co.uk/ Probably not what you mean. Perhaps you should be careful when you start a new tagging scheme so the 2 items are not mixed up.

No marc, a pedibus here is just a walking route to school for accompanied children. Imho, it's a new route type. Worth it to ask on tagging@ for a good english term. Yves

Hello
According to Wikipedia it is called "walking bus"
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walking_bus
Seems to be a reasonable name...

Hi Simon,
PS: off topic: here (just outside of Zürich) our kids are supposed to walk on their own (without adult supervision) starting with Kindergarten.
I'd like too that kids should be more independant, but I feel being the only one to think like people from Zurich.
Just te be sure, how old is kid that goes to Kindergarten ???
Thanks

Kindergarten starts with 4 here (Canton Aargau, but it should slowly be harmonized throughout the country). Now naturally the parents accompany the kids for the first couple of weeks and they form informal groups with other kids of the same age and older after that, so they are not walking totally alone (in our case 1.5km one way), but in general the feeling is that navigating your way to school is an important part of growing up. My older kid is now 7 and has walked the way with the exception of the first couple of weeks without larger issues for the last 3 and a bit years.
Naturally if you have more traffic than we do you might need to have wardens at pedestrian crossings and so on.
That is the good news, the bad news is that since they can't stay over lunch we currently have no choice than doing a school run over midday when they have school/kindergarten in the afternoon lunch break is simply too short.
