I happened to stumble across OSM working on a project for Uni. We needed all the busroutes for Bremerhaven, so I looked there. Most of them were okay, but there were still a lot of Mistakes.
As my boyfriend is a busdriver and I often acompany him at work I decided to correct the routes. Of course I stumbled into the problems that are caused, because there are not yet set standards for public transport. Well there are proposals, but they all seem to say something different.
For now I have just corrected the routes and left the busstops as they were. It was fun and I look forward to updating the material if there is a permant route change.

Welcome to OSM :)
Yes there are 2 tagging mainlines
A easier one: osm.wiki/wiki/%C3%96PNV-Karte , osm.wiki/wiki/%C3%96PNV_Schema
And a complex but more detailed one: osm.wiki/User:Oxomoa/%C3%96PNV-Schema
We have a lot of student works happening on OSM, but nobody documents or is interested in notify about news. Hopefully you like to setup a wiki page and working directly with the community :)
