Yes, that is a rather silly thing that has been added, since it was noticed after the proposal that if you removed highway=bus_stop and only had public_transport=platform, then you would have no way to know it was a bus stop rather than a train platform. So now some mappers advocate adding a second tag bus=yes, originally only proposed for stop positions. But if the originally, more common tag highway=bus_stop is already used, there is no need to add bus=yes. - Joseph Eisenberg On 3/11/20, Peter Elderson <pelder...@gmail.com> wrote: > I get the impression that consensus and general adoption will not be > reached during my lifetime. > > Good luck with it, I'm out! > > Vr gr Peter Elderson > > > Op wo 11 mrt. 2020 om 12:13 schreef alan_gr <alangran...@gmail.com>: > >> John Doe wrote >> > I don't understand why the critics of PTv2 seem to think stop positions >> > are such a big deal - they are optional! >> >> My memory of starting to map bus stops a few years ago is that it wasn't >> clear from the documentation that stop positions are optional.
