Hi Michał

There are two mailing lists that may be able to help you specifically: Talk-transit, which deal with public transport; and Tagging that deals with, err... tagging.

Here's a list of all the current forums:

Hi!

I mostly deal with public transport, and I have an issue which I can't find in wiki, so I hope to have answers from users of bigger experience than mine.

For termini, as well as for larger transfer points it makes sense to use amenity=bus_station in place of highway=bus_stop.

Now the problem is what the elements ("bus stops" in real life) of the amenity should be? I see three choices in use:

* highway=bus_stop seems to be the users' choice, but on some maps, namely Osm2Gps (Java offline map for telephones), there is a clutter of names, one for the amenity, one for each stop

* highway=platform doesn't clutter, but then the actual location doesn't show up on mapnik

* highway=bus_stop, but without a name, just platform code. Seems the most sensible solution, but is it compatible with what others are doing?
