 transportation departments have depots for highway maintenence

 public transit bus depots.

 maybe transport is ok, but let's make sure we enumerate the choices
 so we're reasonably complete.

That was our reasoning, in fact. On talk-it we also discussed depot
areas where not only vehicles are stored; for example there may be
maintenance buildings or other various pieces of equipment.

I'm announcing the proposal ASAP, so we can discuss it there.

 Hi

 How are bus depots being tagged? These are places where bus are stored, say
 overnight, when not in use.

 I've looked on taginfo  there was only one use of bus_depot, so I assume
 it's being tagged differently, but not sure how.

There was a short discussion about this in very recent times on the
Italian discussion list:
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-it/2010-December/020608.html

There seemed to be agreement, but nobody ever proceeded to make a
proposal. I'll revive the discussion and ask for a proposal, if that's
ok with you. Otherwise, feel free to start one yourself.

 Cheers

That's sound great. please let us know of any conclusions.

Personally I'd go for landuse=bus_depot. but I'm open to suggestions.

Seems like a type of garage or parking lot, so perhaps it should be
tagged like those.

There was some discussion of this a few months back: 
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2010-September/thread.html#4539
There seemed to be agreement for some sort of depot tag, but less 
agreement over whether it should be amenity=depot or highway=depot or 
landuse=depot etc.


I think it is a quite different thing from parking, as it usually 
includes facilities for refuelling or repairing the buses etc. Plus 
there's roads depots which might also store tools, equipment, salt, 
gravel etc.


landuse=garages also seems to be a much more specific thing, for 
individual garage buildings, probably rented/used by different people etc.
