According to the wiki page for "service_times": "The key service_times=* is generally used for the times of service of a given feature, if this is different from the opening hours or if a special service (like in the case of churches) is offered in this time. Otherwise please use opening_hours=*."
It is much, much less common than opening_hours (it's a 100 to 1 ratio). And it's almost always used with amenity=place_of_worship + religion: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/service_times#combinations This makes sense, because places of worship might be open every day (e.g. catholic churches in Latin America) but the public worship services are only held at certain times. For a feature like a drinking fountain, opening_hours= would be the standard tag to use, and this combination has already been used over 2000 times with amenity=drinking_water (http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/PLd), while service_times has been used exactly once (http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/PLc). - Joseph Eisenberg On 1/15/20, Martin Koppenhoefer <dieterdre...@gmail.com> wrote: > Am Mi., 15.
