Is there a way to create a network input file from existing data sources (OpenStreetMap) which includes what links are used for public transit?

Hi Daniel, not standard, not that I'm aware of. Just the road network, as you probably already know, is doable. But using OSM for public transport would require the data to be available in relation format. Merging two networks (one from OSM and the other from say GTFS) might be an option... consider the map2mapmatching contrib.

Or better, consider PT2MATSim .

Hey Daniel, concerning this and your other question, pt2matsim does indeed provide tools to create multimodal networks from openstreetmap and MATSIM public transit schedules from GTFS and other sources. I'll refer to the manual on the github page as a starting point. Feel free to ask here or contact me if any further questions come up.

Best, Flavio
