I would rather have a different type bus route, something similar to: type = route + route = tour_bus / sightseeing_bus + tour_bus = double_decker / land_train / + fee = * + key_for_hop_on_hop_off = * + capacity? + network, operator see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trackless_train UK: land train, road train, Tschu-Tschu train and Dotto train US: trackless train, tram and parking lot tram -- althio _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
