Like Andy I can find these useful, particularly as the ones on local PTE websites are very difficult to interpret. However, they suffer from the deficiencies of being a) unmaintained on OSM; b) not necessarily reflecting multiple bus pass zones; c) being fairly crude hulls of bus stops in the

I believe they were the zones covered by plusbus tickets. Although the Telford one is certainly unlikely as it has not been maintained since the import and Telford has expanded beyond it. Phil (trigpoint) On Thursday, 4 April 2019, Stuart Reynolds wrote: > What do you mean by “pay scale”? Are

When I come across them I always delete them. To map them as polygons was nonsense. A few years ago the person who added them confessed he couldn't remember why he'd done it. If there is a desire to to be added they should be on the bus stops, similar to the fare_zones I recently added to

What do you mean by “pay scale”? Are you meaning the definition of a stop as a fare stage, or as part of a zone? If so, then this data needs to be deleted, forthwith, as it will never be right. Outside of the regulated market that is London, different stops can be fare stages for different

The Telford one certainly looks highly dubious cutting residential areas and bus routes. I agree these and public transport routes are best left to organisations such as traveline. After all a bus route without timetable information is pretty useless. Phil (trigpoint) On Thursday, 4 April

Hi everyone Back in the day of the original NapPTAN import we imported pay scale areas - tagged as public_transport=pay_scale_area. I don't know why we ever did this - there's no evidence on the ground and it's highly unlikely that any OSM data consumer makes use of them ( if indeed they are
