Well, technically passengers are not needed e.g. for train stations (goods would be fine as well), but I agree that in OSM we could restrict the usage to passenger transportation (and have another tag for goods). IMHO the definition could be: "A station is a public transport facility where vehicles regularly stop to load or unload passengers, which is bigger than a pair of bus stops or tram stops." (even if an aerialway-station might be smaller). To be even more clear it could be: "A station is a public transport facility where vehicles regularly stop to load or unload passengers, which in the case of buses or trams is bigger than a pair of bus stops or tram stops." > All stop positions should have bus=yes (or train=yes or tram=yes), yes. Did > I miss one? Yes, they are missing here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Public_Transport#Examples I also have noted another thing: "The station itself is mapped as an Area". Is it necessary to restrict usage to ways, wouldn't it be better to encourage usage of a relation?
