I fully agree with everything marc said. But I think Jo's confusion comes primarily from the fact that public_transport=platform replaces BOTH highway=platform AND highway=bus_stop.
So under the old tagging scheme you could have a highway=platform way or area, AND a highway=bus_stop node. In places where there was only a highway=bus_stop node, this is often now dual tagged with public_transport=platform as well (which is correct). In places where there was only a highway=platform way/area, this is often now dual tagged with public_transport=platform was well (correct too). But in places that have both a highway=platform and a highway=bus_stop, dual tagging both with public_transport=platform is wrong. The two should be merged into only a single way/area with public_transport=platform. The problem then is that you can't really dual tag that anymore, because the highway=platform and highway=bus_stop tags are in direct conflict and can't be tagged on the same object. And because the lack of rendering in osm carto, many people are not going to use PTv2 properly in this case, because they can't dual tag it so that it will properly show up on the map. The lack of rendering support for public_transport=platform *as a replacement for highway=bus_stop and similar tags* is what prevents widespread adaption of PTv2 and deprecation of the old tagging scheme. Implementing public_transport=platform rendering purely as a 1:1 replacement of highway/railway=platform, without properly supporting it as a replacement of bus_stop, tram_stop, and so on is not going to fix that issue. > -----Original Message----- > From: marc marc <marc_marc_...@hotmail.com> > Sent: Thursday, 21 June 2018 02:53 > To: tagging@openstreetmap.org > Subject: Re: [Tagging] public_transport=platform rendering on osm- > carto > > Le 20. 06. 18 à 17:44, Jo a écrit : > > Actually I have started to remove public_transport=platform from > WAYS > > with highway=platform and railway=platform.
