I would very much welcome rendering of public_transport=platform. But I do not think that it is reasonable to add rendering for it, and at the same moment drop rendering for highway=platform, railway=platform, highway=bus_stop, railway=tram_stop and everything else that public_transport=platform is meant to replace.
This absolutely needs to be a two step process. Add rendering for public_transport=platform first, then let people work on migrating existing data. At some point in the future it might then become possible to drop rendering for existing tags. > -----Original Message----- > From: Daniel Koć <daniel@koć.pl> > Sent: Wednesday, 20 June 2018 00:30 > To: tagging@openstreetmap.org > Subject: [Tagging] public_transport=platform rendering on osm-carto > > Hi, > > When discussing rendering public_transport=platform on default > OSM.org map style (osm-carto): > > https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/3232 > > I realized that highway=platform is not only marked on wiki as much > less popular, but is also really 10 times less popular in the > database.
