In Tag:amenity=car_sharing <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dcar_sharing>, I see no way to distinguish

  * a /Carsharing station, where you get your booked car, often
    separate areas on parking places/
  * a roadside place with a bus stop like pole near which
    "non-hitching", subscribed pedestrians stand to stop similarly
    subscribed car drivers for a lift;  using the subscription
    numbers, the pickup can be recorded for safety with a text message.

Mistaking one for the other is in both cases "funny".
(Trying to phone the pole or standing by waiting just outside the station.)

Any remarks about this sample? <http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/1793907823>

Perhaps the reason is that these are two different things: The first bullet refers to car sharing and the second to ride sharing, as far as I can tell. See "ride sharing" (aka. car pooling) with your favorite search engine. .. There seems to be an abandoned proposal for car pooling (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Carpool), btw.
Ouch, thanks.  I mean thanks, ouch.
By the organization name <http://translate.google.be/translate?u=http%3A//www.covoitstop.be/&hl=fr&langpair=auto%7Cen&tbb=1&ie=UTF-8>, /*covoit*/ = covoiturage According to Nominatim <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim/Special_Phrases/FR> covoiturage -> amenity=car_sharing. According to you and other translations covoiturage -> carpool <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Carpool>. And, you're right, that sort of organized hitch hiking is more like the US left lane carpooling. I have added this comment <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Carpool#What_is_carpooling.3F> to Proposed_features/Carpool <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Carpool>.

I have to abandon my tagging project by lack of a suitable tag.
Never mind, they refused to send me a stop points coordinate list anyway.
They say that they have their own map project (which obviously is not *our* map).

Cheers,

André.
