adamos (2026-06-15 14:09:09+00:00): Hello,
thank you for the reminder.
Objective and limitations: My routine aims to keep existing Flixbus route relations in OSM functional by repairing them when they break due to other edits, road closures, one-way changes, construction, etc. The main goal is to maintain connectivity for routing and public transport analysis.
Limitations: I only repair existing relations — I do not add new Flixbus lines or remove obsolete ones, as there is no reliable centralized timetable.
Countries covered: The edits cover all countries where Flixbus relations currently exist in OSM (essentially all countries Flixbus operates in within Europe).
Route coverage: I work on all existing Flixbus relations in OSM. I do not verify whether individual routes are currently in service. Inactive or suspended routes remain in OSM unless removed by other editors. There is no systematic removal of outdated relations on my side.
Significance of ways: The ways included in the relations represent the actual (or most logical) route the bus takes on public roads. When multiple reasonable options exist, I generally choose the one that best matches the official Flixbus route (when known) or the most commonly used path. It is not random.
Alternative modeling: I have not seriously considered alternative modeling approaches (e.g. only using stops without full way members), because the current OSM practice for long-distance bus routes is to include the ways. Changing this modeling approach would be a larger community discussion.
Types of checks: I primarily check for and fix:





Broken relations (missing or invalid way members)
One-way road conflicts
Construction zones (highway=construction)
Occasionally reroute to the second carriageway on dual carriageways (especially in Poland)
Support from Flixbus: There is no support, cooperation, or contact with Flixbus. This is a purely voluntary community effort.
Data verification: I do not have a systematic method to cross-check against the official Flixbus timetable. I sometimes use https://www.flixbus.de/track for individual routes, but this is done manually and only selectively. I mainly rely on the PTNA Flixbus analysis tool (https://ptna.openstreetmap.de/results/EU/EU-Flixbus-Analysis.diff.html).
Timing and sources: My routine is fully manual, so I perform it as my time permits. I use PTNA analysis as a main source of information, and Geofabrik (https://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=pubtrans_routes) as a visual check.
I have not considered my activity important or systematic enough to warrant a dedicated page on the OSM wiki.




Hello,
thanks for the reminder.

My Flixbus edits are done manually, preferably every morning.  Main objective is to restore broken Flixbus lines relations, caused by other users' edits, closed roads, one-way roads etc.
My edit covers all countries operated by Flixbus - or, better say, all countries where Flixbus OSM relations are present.
 I dont verify if the lines are still active since there is no centralized Flixbus timetable, adding new or removing obsolete Flixbus lines is out of my scope.
Significance: Sometimes it is possible to verify bus route at https://www.flixbus.de/track, but not always. Since my edits are manual, I use that method for selected edits only.
I check broken relations and one-way roads mainly. In some countries (especially Poland), local editors reals being repaired as highway:construction. If my time permits, I re-route the bus relation to the second lane of dual carriageway, but not always.
 There is no support from Flixbus for my edits
I did not develop any script for cross-checking with other sources.
My routine is fully manual, so I perform it as my time permits. I use PTNA analysis https://ptna.openstreetmap.de/results/EU/EU-Flixbus-Analysis.diff.html as a main source of information, and Geofabrik https://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=pubtrans_routes as a visual check.
I didnt consider my activity as important, or systematic, that it would deserve an osm.wiki page.
