Just found this one:

http://vocab.linkeddata.es/datosabiertos/def/urbanismo-infraestructuras/Transporte.html

Not sure what to do with it

Yep. I believe @ocorcho has developed this ontology for projects he is doing for local governments in Spain with Localidata.

I would suggest to take this and merge when necessary. We also need to work on a more multilingual version of the LinkedGTFS vocabulary. This is what LOV ultimately is encouraging to do with new features coming regarding multilingual search for terms.

Multilingual: Sure! Let's first get it tested by a few use cases. Then I'm going to do a call for translations.

Indeed, @ocorcho created the document, but the URIs are maintained by http://transport.data.gov.uk. (again a discontinued project, but at least the URIs are stable and there are no issues with the semantics as far as I have seen)

Exactly, I created that one some time ago to produce a more fine-grained description of the ontology for the Spanish sector (including feedback from a few Spanish transport authorities and municipalities). The documentation (still incomplete as I need to add diagrams, etc.) is showing also the imported ontology from NapTan as I wanted to show the whole model to potential users. But there is still some work to do on documentation and multilinguality.

If accepted by transport.data.gov.uk, I would love to add the Spanish translations of some of their terms (not all make sense in Spain).
