Description

I'm a German-Brazilian inventor and I've developed an orientation system based on imaginary clocks, a method used for more than 120 years. It opens space for about 25 innovative applications, for example for passengers:

www.volksnav.de/Omnibus.

I propose a GTFS upgrade with following open and user friendly data:

1 - Line codes
with orientation content instead of aleatory line numbers.

2 - Line pictograms
based on a standard reference circle called r100 www.volksnav.de/r100

3 - Imaginable codes for stations and stop points
Example Tokyo Metro www.volksnav.de/TokyoMetro. All other alternatives are enigmatic: www.volksnav.de/alternatives.

These smart making data would harmonize with
- a signage which indicates the codes and points to downtown, north etc.
- VolksNav, a better geocaching www.volksnav.de/smartphone
- a reference grid on maps
- the proposal to Overture Maps https://github.com/OvertureMaps/schema/discussions/13
- the UN SDG solicitation https://act4sdgs.org/profile/SDG18
- the VolksCadastre www.volksnav.de/Yanomami
- Orientation Esperanto for evacuations
- the abolition of the obsolete postcodes
- etc. etc.

Public transportation companies are asked to support such innovations to reduce the searching time of the passengers.
