 The PlusBus zone data comes from PlusBus – so please don’t try to change 
 it.  If you think it is wrong, then let me know and I will ask PlusBus 
 to review the information.

The Wrexham and Ruabon PlusBus zone has been imported without any 
reference to Wrexham (the more important location):
name = Ruabon
public_transport = pay_scale_area
ref = RUABON
source = naptan_import

While this presumably corresponds to an entry in somebody's database, 
it causes a bit of FUD in OSM. Presumably I could edit the name tag, 
in spite of the admonition above. But name tags are rendered by Mapnik 
at high zooms (here as a disembodied name 16km from Ruabon). For these 
areas, it would be better to remove the name tag and use note instead, 
e.g. note = Wrexham and Ruabon PlusBus area.

 We need a decision on the 'Public Transport' vs 'Transit' question.  
 Which term should we use on the wiki because I don't want a muddle.
 
 I note that the article on Wikipedia is called 'Public transport',  
 with 'mass transit' and 'public transportation' as alternatives. I  
 propose that we mirror Wikipedia and use the same term.

+1 

 I will therefore move Transit - Public Transport, convert  
 'category:Transit' to 'category:Public transport',  If I don't hear  
 voices against this proposal I will get on with it soon.
 
 If we do this then I suggest that we deprecate use of the term  
 'transit' in general on the wiki.

And we'll have to rename this mailing list. :-)
