I think we've got three broad decisions:
1) Whether the use of stop area / group relations should be
a) widespread
b) exceptional
b
2) Whether route relations should
a) contain all the variants in one relation, with no attempt at
ordering, just stops identified as forward/backward
b) try to match all the individual stop-sets that you might find in a timetable
c) contain an ordered set of ways/stops, in whatever fashion the
mapper feels appropriate
b (by the way: how would (a) work in the case of a ring line?)
3) Whether there should be a new public_transport key, to try to
clarify the bus_stop/tram_stop distinction
a) aim to move tram_stops to alongside the track, and put something
else (tram_stop_group / tram_station?) on the track
b) aim to move bus_stops onto the road, and put something else
(platform?) alongside
c) encourage the use of platforms on tram systems, and use those in
the relation instead of tram_stop
d) add a new public_transport key, so that public_transport=platform
can be used for everything
c and d (we shouldn't redefine tags that are in million-times use!)
cheers
