Thanks for the heads up on this one. I'm checking this as I think the 118 got swapped out.

Are you very interested in mapping Transit in general? MTTA has a lot of really weird routes that dogleg and have variations that only run certain times of day with the same number, and I'm not 100% on how to deal with that.

Are you using PT_Assistant already? For each variation in itinerary, you need to create a separate route relation. For 'telescopic' lines I'm only mapping the longer variations though. Does MTTA provide GTFS feeds that can be used in OpenStreetMap.org?

I am using PT Assistant, but it's not really much help versus doing it by hand. MTTA's GTFS feed is, to put it __very__ politely, a hot mess, like Apple Maps bad. Stops inside office blocks, routes turning impossibly from surface streets directly onto freeways...if there's a way to screw up the data badly, they've done it.

Having GTFS feeds would help with determining what variations of the lines exist (to create the route relations). It wouldn't help for positioning the stops correctly, that's what we mappers can add to improve the data.
I'm mentoring a GSoC project to convert/integrate GTFS to OSM. It would make it possible to have route relations for each variation, containing references to the stops, we would still have to add the ways to them. That's where PT_Assistant should be able to help. Are there features you would like to see added to PT_Assistant that would help you?
