Warin,
nobody says that the tagging isn't correct for cases where the bus_stop node is the only thing there is. But please look at: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/471231032645910529/931072496403370014 /unknown.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/471231032645910529/931073576893825064 /unknown.png This is a relatively normal bus stop. It clearly DOES have a distinct platform. In which case the platform should be tagged on the area. Even if someone decides that's too much work and decides to only to map the bus_stop node and throw the platform tag onto that, that's fine as long as it happens on a case by case basis. The issue is that this is an automated mass edit, where the user loaded all highway=bus_stop nodes in Australia into JOSM via an overpass query, then unconditionally added the platform tag to all of them (even ones that might have already tagged a platform on an area close by), and committed these changes. Furthermore, the user in question was specifically pointed to the Automated Edit Code of Conduct before making that change and wilfully ignored the process: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/471231032645910529/931094389407768607 /unknown.png Cheers, Thorsten From: Warin <61sundow...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, 13 January 2022 17:38 To: talk-au@openstreetmap.org Subject: Re: [talk-au] Undiscussed, undocumented mass edit across all of Australia.

If there is an actual waiting area of any kind, the public_transport=platform belongs on that instead. see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Public_transport#Buses Umm from the above page "If there is no real platform and you will only find a simple sign for the passengers . Add a node node at the location of the bus stop sign. It gets following tags: public_transport=platform highway=bus_stop name=<name> or ref=<reference number> optional: additional tags like shelter=yes/no, bench=yes/no, bin=yes/no, etc." In most instances in Australia all there is is a 'bus stop sign' and shelter with bench if your lucky. So in the majority of cases the tagging would be correct. ------------------- I think this came about from 'public transport version 2'. I don't know if it is 'required'. Personally I see platforms for trains, wharf? for ferries and usually nothing for buses.
