[Tagging] Minibus routes

2020-10-12 Thread Michael Tsang

I agree here. What would a good tag be we can use to declare this? bus_stops=on_demand? In the given example I would not add the bus stop plattform to the bus route relation! As they are not linked to the route, and there are only for convenience for people waiting for the bus, but also for other

Maybe we can have an extra tag on the route relation that the bus will stop on demand of the passengers and you only add the stops which have physical presence that are along the itinerary to the route relation. Jo 2016-09-08 3:30 GMT+02:00 Michael Tsang : > On Wednesday 07 September 2016 23:51:
