Is public_transport=platform now about the structure or the function? If it is about the function, then we need a separate tag for the platform structure.
If it is about the structure, then we should decide to either map the sidewalk or public_transport=platform (depending on how we define a platform). Otherwise, we say that there are two physical structures, which is wrong. On 30 March 2018 at 19:41, "Christian Müller" <cmu...@gmx.de> wrote: >> Gesendet: Freitag, 30.
