Import: Bus stops from GTFS

[NeatNit]

@ToniE

is there a single association/authority which provides public transport service or are there multiple, in which regions (counties, cities, …)

You might find some of the replies in this recent topic relevant: What is the definition of a public transport network?

In short: yes, the Ministry of Transport is in charge of all public transportation in Israel. From what I can tell, they don’t delegate much. There are a handful of different operators, but all the routes are set by the MoT.

• where can I find the *.zip file
• is that a permament link or will that change with every new version of data
• does the server support “last-modified” header of HTTP (curl -sI )

Please see List of GTFS feeds - OpenStreetMap Wiki. It’s permanent, but there’s some SSL issues that I explained in that wiki page.
If I ran curl -sl right, it makes no output. curl -sl --cacert ./mot-gov-il-chain.pem https://gtfs.mot.gov.il/gtfsfiles/israel-public-transportation.zip

@ToniE

• who is the onwner of the data
• what is the license of the data, is it compatible with OSM (CC-BY-4.0 is not per se)

It’s owned by the Israeli government. The only license I can find is the terms of use, written in Hebrew. I will translate them in a bit, and answer as many more of your questions as I can.
