Here's an example of an exclusive busway, which is only used by the Orange Line / G Line bus service in suburban Los Angeles:
https://media.metro.net/riding/images/LinePage_orange_line_header.jpg The busway is a 2-lane paved surface which is exclusively for public transit buses. There is a parallel cycleway and footway, but no sidewalks. Private buses and other vehicles are not permitted on the busway. It used to be an abandoned railway line which was converted to a busway. Currently it is mapped as highway=service + service=busway + access=no + bus=designated - https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/443134693 While the current tagging is ok, it seems inconsistent that highway=bus_guideway gets its own tag, while other busways which are similar in function are tagged as highway=service. - Joseph Eisenberg On Sun, Oct 18, 2020 at 1:38 AM Mateusz Konieczny via Tagging < [email protected]> wrote: > > > > Oct 18, 2020, 10:20 by [email protected]: > > > > sent from a phone > > On 18.
