Should a commuter rail system with rapid transit frequency but main line-standard tracks be tagged as railway=subway or railway=rail?
In Hong Kong, the MTR metro system has an "urban" set of DC 1432mm-gauge lines, and another set of AC standard gauge lines (East Rail Line, West Rail Line and Ma On Shan Line) connected to the Guangzhou–Shenzhen railway. One of the standard gauge lines (Ma On Shan Line: short distance between stations and low speed) was always tagged with railway=subway, but some time ago I retagged the West Rail Line (commuter rail with long distance between stations) with railway=subway, as well as the sections of the East Rail Line without intercity train service (without asking anyone). Should the lines be retagged as railway=rail, since they're not really subway/metro lines? jc86035 _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
