Ottawa has all its bus stops in and rendered in OMAND and the normal rendering web sites. The city has links to the maps on its web site for some years but all the bus stops are labelled highway=bus_stop and are tagged with the stop numbers so you can text or phone a number to find out when the ne

It only takes one great public transport map with routing, and the new scheme will come to life. Who cares about Openstreetmap default map. Who cares about the public transport layer on Openstreetmap which doesn't even have tram lines rendered. We need outside help with this :) Janko 2014-08-12

Now that the new way of rendering with Carto instead of Mapnik is finally becoming reality, it becomes clear that highway=bus_stop will never (or at least not during my lifetime) be replaced by public_transport=platform/bus=yes. I started to double tag all the new stops I'm adding and the ones I'm

Simply rendering public_transport=platform+bus=yes (if that's correct) as a bus stop is a matter of a few lines of xml in the tag-transform (to insert a highway=bus_stop tag in relevant nodes, which the normal rendering processes can pick up). Though since this is functionally the same as the mappe
