If the route as a whole is a roundtrip, then exactly that point.

 

Let’s assume the route has stops:

 

A1

B

C

D

E

A2

 

A1 and A2 may be exactly the same point or close to each other, but that 
doesn’t matter, because for a roundtrip route, I would expect the vehicle to 
visits:

 

A1

B

C

D

E

A2

A1 (if different from A2)

B

C

D

E

A2

…

 

And so on, until end of service (of the vehicle)

 

If I get on at B, and it’s a roundtrip route, I would expect to be able to 
later get off at B again.

Exactly that point or in the vicinity? No matter the payment, ticketing and 
boarding rules?

Or to express it even more general:

 

If you start at any stop, and remain on the vehicle, you will at some later 
point get back to the stop you started on.

I interpret roundtrip as “you can get from a stop to another stop that’s 
*before* it in the list of stops by simply remaining in the vehicle”.

 

You can have routes where the start and stop are the same location, but this is 
not true (as the vehicle always goes on to serve another route after arriving 
at the last stop).

What is the use of the key:roundtrip? 

Explanations just say  


 <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:roundtrip> roundtrip=yes/no

(optional) Use roundtrip=no to indicate that a route goes from A to B. Use 
roundtrip=yes to indicate that the start and finish of the route are at the 
same location (circular route).

It seems rather pointless to tag an obvious a-b route with roundtrip=no, or an 
abvious roundtrip with roundtrip=yes. 

Why would you tag an a-b route as roundtrip=yes, or a closed route as 
roundtrip=no?


 

The only use case I can imagine is when a roundtrip has one ore more access 
ways which are included in the route relation. But even then, what is the 
purpose? 

 

Allowing apps to select only "official" roundtrips? Is that a valid reason for 
tagging?
