[Talk-transit] How do you map elements of an amenity_bus_station?
Hi!
I mostly deal with public transport, and I have an issue which I can't
find in wiki, so I hope to have answers from users of bigger experience
than mine.
For termini, as well as for larger transfer points it makes sense to use
amenity=bus_station in place of highway=bus_stop.
Now the problem is what the elements ("bus stops" in real life) of the
amenity should be? I see three choices in use:
* highway=bus_stop seems to be the users' choice, but on some maps,
namely Osm2Gps (Java offline map for telephones), there is a clutter of
names, one for the amenity, one for each stop
* highway=platform doesn't clutter, but then the actual location doesn't
show up on mapnik
* highway=bus_stop, but without a name, just platform code. Seems the
most sensible solution, but is it compatible with what others are doing?

There are a lot of things inside OSM that for my opinion are bothering.
But I don't delete them ...
I meant that you should not map things that are not actually on the
Earth. ("Why bother" means "why do it")
It seems that you both don't read my first mail?
Neither you read the numerous replies which said that you should abandon
the entire idea.
Plus, you are aiming to add a new type of a tag (value), and this action
requires an in-depth approach, because it disturbs simplicity. Don't
complicate things that work, for "better is the enemy of good".
