I wrote some open source software[1] many years ago for mapping out bus routes, their stops, timetables, and everything else. It’s pretty old and probably only runs on linux.

It will let you generate GTFS data (the standard for transit), and then there are OSM importers for GTFS data.

The nice thing, is that since GTFS data has routes, stops, timetables, holidays, …, it will work with any of the routers with OSM.

Guix is very interesting to me. If fedora didn’t just work, I think that’s where I’d want to move to.

I started using Linux in '98 with Red Hat 5.2. I have swapped between many, many different distros. But for the last 10 years or so, I’ve mostly stuck with Fedora. It generally just works, is up to date, and I’ve never had issues upgrading on their 6 month release cycle. My desktop probably started on Fedora 20-something and has been upgraded to the latest (43) without ever doing a reinstall!

My primary computer is my Frame.work laptop running Fedora 43.
