(Ready for import review)
(railReplacementBus)
The goal of this project is to:
 
* Import all 97,935 bus stops and 130 bus stations and conflate them with the existing 28,387 bus stops and 187 bus stations in Norway
* Update all stops and stations on a regular basis in the future
 
When extracting data, NSR should primarily be accessed through [https://developer.entur.org/content/national-stop-register its API] or the derivative [https://developer.entur.org/content/geocoder Geocoder], but it may also be viewed through its web interface at [https://stoppested.entur.org stoppested.entur.org] using the guest account.
 
For bulk data from NSR, files are made available [https://developer.entur.org/content/stops-and-timetable-data here] through daily updated XML files in the [http://netex-cen.eu NeTEx] format. This format has been selected by the European Commission as its standard format for exchanging public transport information. The python program [https://github.com/osmno/nsr2osm nsr2osm] reads the files and produces OSM/XML files which can be opened in JOSM.
 
The generated OSM file is available [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pkHcNvmHoRWHHTrnrIWpC--cCFmPbkXL?usp=sharing here]. Please disregard train, tram and ferry stops - only bus stops and bus stations will be imported. Attributes with keys in capital letters will not be imported. A file containing ''all'' Norwegian bus stops and stations currently in OSM is also available in the folder
 
=== Data quality ===
Two counties, Troms and Trøndelag (municipality codes staring with 19 and 50, respectively), are still updating and improving their data in NSR, so these two counties will be excluded from the import for the time being.
 
In general, the bus stop data provided has a high quality. The bus stops are used daily in web services and apps, and the data is being actively maintained. As expected there are exceptions - for instance one may find an offset bus stop 20 meters into a garden or on the wrong side of a street. The imperfections which have been discovered are considered acceptable (no worse than common mapping imperfections by the average user in OSM).
|Unique identifier for quays

A couple of extra tags with capital letters have also been included to support the import, such as MUNICIPALITY. These tags will not be imported into OSM.

===Workflow===
 
# One data file is provided for the entire country. Extract one county at a time based on the two first digits of the municipality number into JOSM. Please exclude Troms and Trøndelag county for the time being.
# Download all bus stops and bus stations for the county from OSM using overpass in JOSM with a query such as <code>highway=bus_stop or amenity=bus_station in Vestfold</code> in the wizard. Make sure that the ''"recurse up"'' operator <code><;</code> is added to the overpass query to get any parent relations or ways involved.
# Configure the Conflation plugin and generate bus stop matches:
