NaPTAN

There is a requirement to indicate non-passenger stops (driver rests, driver change over, depots, and waiting time stops) so that these can be included in TransXChange (TXC) files in National Coach Service Database (NCSD), and Bus Open Data Service (BODS) without requiring a stop to be created in the NaPTAN database by an authority. These locations are not used by the public to access or exit public transport, they are required for operational management purposes by operators.  

The Government this morning published its Transport Data Strategy, setting out plans to improve how people find, use and get value from transport data to support greater innovation in the sector and deliver better services.

We are running with the DfT another series of workshops to explore different aspects of bus stops and data as part of the re-development work taking place on NaPTAN systems.

What would a Responsible/Agent model mean for Local Authority Users?
