I have raised this topic two years ago but it seems that there is no community consensus here. My problem is "How should we tag a public transport through service route?" In my city there are the following cases: 1. A simple circular route where a passenger can normally stay on board through t

Most folks do use presets, especially those marking bus stops in the wild, which is the vast majority of the cases that matter in this discussion. Only recently (March 2018) did iD begin including PTv2 tags in its presets. Before then, it only offered PTv1, that is, highway=bus_stop. So of course

For access restrictions we had started by using psv=yes, but I guess few people will read that as public services vehicle and another problem with that is that is apparently includes taxis as well. Personallly, I see a big difference between a way tagged as *=platform and a node with that tag. On

Heh. Another example of the imperfectibility of language. Neither the GTFS specification nor the NetEx standard envisions any distinction between boarding-only and alighting-only points (or mixed ones, for that matter), and I have never encountered any bus route where such a distinction was made.

If you want to generate routing from one specific location to another, utilizing public transport if available, you will end up with a route that goes: By foot from the start to a location where you can board public transport. The public transport then takes you from that location to another lo

Because platform was chosen over waiting area or other possible alternatives. It's not always a waiting area, btw, sometimes it's reserved for leaving the transportation device. I suppose a more accurate value would have been "boarding_and_or_leaving_area", but there will always be exceptional cas
