Yes, it's a tram. A bus_guideway means a way, and only a way, where the bus is guided by hard- or software on a particular way which cannot be used by other traffic, but the vehicles on this way are normal busses with an addition of a guide-system. They can use normal streets as well and can be steered by the driver as any other bus. A tram is a vehicle which is not able to use other than guided ways of any kind (rails, street with guide rail, etc.). It cannot be steered individually. It makes no difference whether it runs on wheels of steel or tires. > > Finally, if we want to use the tag highway=bus_guideway, and not > railway=tram, we should change all the stops, because they should be: > highway=bus_stop + public_transport=platform + bus=yes -1 > > not : > railway=tram_stop + public_transport=platform + tram=yes > > Maybe a solution is: > > railway=tram > tram: type = bus_guideway > > Other ideas? railway=tram highway=secondary(?,...) if usable by other vehicles access=...(bus? if a bus runs on the same way) > > Regards, > > John Regards Wolfgang _______________________________________________ Talk-transit mailing list Talk-transit@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit
