there is sometimes another possibility to map detailed areas: maps with compatible license / open data from the pt operator or the city. Areas are more useful when you look at a high scale map, as it helps to recognize where you are, and where amenities are, to orient yourself (e.g. shops / fast food, escalators, elevators, obstacles, etc.). With a linear way you have these "levitating" around the way and don't know if they are accessible or just nearby. > > https://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Metro_Mapping writes: >> >>> The modern public transport tagging schema introduces stop positions: >>> points on rails where trains actually stop.

I think in the end we should have more than one stop position, if applying, e.g one for "regular trains" one for "short trains" (in Berlin for example), with tagging that says which is which.
