Hi, Please add the Indonesian bus company DAMRI:

network=DAMRI network:wikidata=Q10978982 route=bus

Thanks.

I looked at DAMRI's website (through Google Translate), and I'm having difficulty determining if DAMRI is a bus network or a bus network operator. Their site has links for "City Transportation", "Intercity Transportation", and "Cross Border Transportation" (as translated by Google), which to me implies that they have multiple networks serving different purposes across Indonesia.

The distinction between a network (in the OSM sense) and an operator is important because NSI's intention is to index transport networks, not transport network operators (or at least not directly - a network can and often does have an operator tag stored along with it). If DAMRI has separate networks in different areas across Indonesia, those specific networks should be indexed in NSI, with DAMRI listed as their operator and Q10978982 as the operator:wikidata. I'd suggest examples, but I couldn't find any route or network schedules or maps on their site or by Googling.

HI, From my experience in Indonesia: indeed it is correct that there are different levels where DAMRI is operating - airport busses, city busses, long distance intercity busses and now even international connections. All operate under the DAMRI cover - busses are owned by DAMRI (state owned), employees on DAMRI paylist. Organised through local branches but using the general DAMRI identification. So in my understanding it is a national network, where the network and operator are the same, running unique connections. You will not find much googling as google doesn't reach that far (same as for Pelni and ASDP for the water transport) yet. Most of the announcements for lines are done via facebook and not in their website; also in their app most common connections are given.
