Export only public transport route

2	Hi, I would like to export (or modify the exported file) such that I get only the transportation route. Any suggestions? Michele bus export transportation asked 10 Sep '13, 13:42 aliekor 31●1●1●3 accept rate: 0%

One Answer:

You can query Overpass API with a query like the following:

(rel[network=VRS][ref=636];>;);
out meta;

It searches for the bus line 636 in the network VRS. Other tags can be used for selecting in the same way. For convenience the query as a link: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/112

Thanks, but how can i get the boundaries of the map I am exporting?

The boundaries are just the smallest/largest lat and lon values of the appearing nodes. So it is straightforward to determine them.

@aliekor: or do you want to limit the area by a bounding box where the query should be made from?

If yes, this is possible: Read https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API very intensively ... there are many possibilities.
