I have no strong feelings one way or the other. My "proposal" was merely to make a distinct difference between a dedicated area of public transport (landuse) compared to a dedicated point/position along a road (and thererfore proabably inside another landuse, like residential). I'm not saying it’s a good proposal, but if someone can extract something useful from my thought - that’s enough for me. :D
I have no further input to this topic unless there are questions. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Koppenhoefer [mailto:dieterdre...@gmail.com] Sent: tirsdag 10. april 2018 11.31 To: Tag discussion, strategy and related tools <tagging@openstreetmap.org> Subject: Re: [Tagging] Unclear meaning of amenity=bus_station sent from a phone > On 10.

I agree there might be facilities where it isn’t clear whether they are bus stations or a big bus stop, but this doesn’t mean there isn’t a difference in general (the fact natural language uses different words is a strong indication that there is indeed a difference). Your tagging proposal doesn’t help more to resolve the edge cases than does the current tagging. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
