Indeed not a platform, just a bus stop with a bench and maybe a shelter, not sure. If the kerb were a bit higher where the bus halts, I'd say platform, but this is just a sidewalk. That we map such a node with public_transport=platform/bus=yes doesn't make it a platform. That's just convention

That segment of platform by the bus shelter is both a footway and a platform. In many scenarios, the "platform" might be distinguished by nothing but some paint on a curb - clearly it's just a part of the sidewalk where a bus stops. We shouldn't ask mappers to decide how platform-ie or footway-ie

The only coherent rule I can surmise based on how footways are mapped "in the wild" is that it's an outdoor linear feature and it's primarily intended for pedestrians. Linear transit platforms people walk to, from, and on seem to fit the other uses of the tag, hence my questions. The rendering

That's not an example of a trick question, just a normal question with clear implications. I'd be happy to see examples of linear platform features that aren't footways and have my intuition proven incorrect. Are there any other outdoor linear features with primary pedestrian access that aren't

a platform, whether tagged as public_transport=platform, highway=platform or railway=platform is always accessible and routeable for pedestrians. So no need to explicitly tag them with highway=footway or foot=yes or something of that nature. Polyglot On Thu, May 23, 2019 at 6:28 PM Nick Bolten

I agree that adding highway=footway to platforms is not only redundant, but (as pointed out by Michael) is bad because platforms often have different access restrictions than highway=footway. iD's validation rule should be removed. Regards Markus ___
