That stop_position nodes became optional is probably because of my influence.
Sorry. but <rolls eyes emoji>
In the beginning they were definitely part of how PTv2.
railway=stop was, I believe, around before PTv2 concept.
I disliked this very much because all of a sudden we were using 2 objects to define a single stop, duplicating details, which seemed like a very bad idea. And it was.
You're misunderstanding stop/stop_position which is used to indicate where individual services stop. There can be multiple 'stops' per 'railway station'.
About the stops, I would have all the details on a single node, highway=bus_stop, railway=tram_stop next to the road where the passengers wait.
Bus/Tram stops should have the equivalent set up as railway stations - One node to represent the whole station ie railway=station & numerous nodes to represent every place a train stops ie railway=stop.
It would require creating new tags for bus/tram stops. DaveF _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
