The full network brand exprés.cat is being recommended over the provincial exprés.cat (Barcelona) #8952

It seems that when there is wikidata in the relation, that the network label of exprés.cat (Barcelona) is being ignored over exprés.cat.

I think this can be fixed by adding the wikidata tags to the provincial sub-networks.

Btw, it would also help if the other 2 provinces of Catalunya were added.

At the moment neither exprés.cat (Barcelona) or exprés.cat (Tarragona) will appear as a suggestion as neither have a network:wikidata assigned. Adding a network:wikidata will enable them to be suggested along with the current entry for exprés.cat.

Are all three of the above the same network / operator, or are they individual operators which share the name?

AmyMagdalena commented 11 months ago

They share the same organiser (Generalitat de Catalunya) who franchises the routes out to various companies like Sagalés but they share route numbers between provinces and thus are different networks, here is the organiser's diagram https://territori.gencat.cat/web/.content/home/03_infraestructures_i_mobilitat/02_transport_public/expres_cat/altra_informacio/Mapa_xarxa_bus_expres.pdf

You'll also notice there's zero overlap in the territorial bounds of each network (Something I personally consider a shame).

UKChris-osm commented 11 months ago

If they are different Networks then it might be best to create a Wikidata for each one (Barcelona), so they can be differentiated. We can also use more precise geotagging to prevent them from overlapping.
