Ok, I have done the ones in Sydney + Newcastle- brought the Stand information to the front of the name, I have left the rest of the information alone. I'll make a note in the OSM Aust guidelines about it. I'll have a look at other capitols later. On 24/01/19 14:40, Warin wrote: The ref numbe

The ref number is included in the GTFS data which has been applied for in April (last year). https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/timetables-complete-gtfs (GTFS 'stop_id' I think is OSMs 'ref') https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_data_catalogue As there is an election comi

In Sydney, many stops display the stop number but I'm not sure if we have another source for this data - in NSW, the convention is that the first four numbers are the postcode of the suburb. So all stops in Strathfield would have a 6 or 7 digit number with the first four digits being the postco

Yes, I have seen the ref tag used for some number that occurs on the bus stop. I have used (misused?) the ref to tag the routes that use that bus stop, then some one has put the stop 'number' in as local_ref. Possibly the stop number is a 'operator_ref' ... whatever, no practical use to the norm

I agree, putting the stand name first makes sense. I've been putting ref=1234 tags on stands (with their ID from the sign), but for some reason haven't ever thought to add the name as well; I shall do so from now on. On 1/21/19 4:26 PM, Michael Collinson wrote: In Sweden, I have seen the "F"

In Sweden, I have seen the "F" going into the ref tag. Just a thought, I don't recall how it affects rendering in common schemes. Con: Clash with a more rigorous ref num giving by the transport authority, "40459" or such. Another (complementary) practice is to put just "F" as the name - which h

Hi, At present the names of bus stops goes something like name=Strathfield Station, Albert Rd (Stand F). The web transport trip planers direct you to Stand F, yet this is not very visiblein OSM renderings as that information is last. Would it not be best to have the name put the more deta
