Well, but based on your description, these are not planned routes in any way. They are purely transient emergent behaviour based on the fact that a lot of people want to move between these two points, and this is the obvious way to go.
Take the people away, and the phenomenon disappears. This is not something that does not exist on its own. A bus route, a foot or hiking route, or a walking bus route on the other hand all exist even in the absence of people There are stops with signs, guiding signs, brochures showing the route... The route is planned and documented, and (at least till someone changes the planning) operate and exist even in the absence of people using them. The only thing that exist of what you describe is the environment that promotes this particular emergent behaviour, like the pedestrian zone sign, and these can and should obviously be mapped. > -----Original Message----- > From: Erkin Alp Güney <erkinalp9...@gmail.com> > Sent: Sunday, 6 May 2018 00:59 > To: tagging@openstreetmap.org > Subject: Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Walkingbus_stop > > Not really transient and some routes can be over 500m in length.
