Hi, I'm getting messages from the validator claiming public_transport=platform can only be used on way or closed_way. This is not true. It can be used perfectly well on nodes. In that case the node represents the position of the pole. I just checked it on the wiki.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Buses All the poles of Belgian transport companies De Lijn, TEC and MIVB/STIB are mapped on nodes. If there is a platform, it is mapped, but that doesn't replace the pole, nor does it get added to the route relations. All the extra details like name, ref, route_ref etc also remain on the node representing the pole. The platform ways and the stop_positions are optional. Nice to have, but not at all crucial. The NODES with highway=bus_stop public_transport=platform bus=yes railway=tram_stop public_transport=platform tram=yes are what define the bus/tram stops over here and those get the details and those get added to the route relations. So please correct the validator rule. Kind regards, Polyglot _______________________________________________ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
