Re: [Talk-transit] bus stop name
Hi there. I maintain most of the OSM bus routes in the San Francisco Bay Area. Bus stops in the US are named after the nearest intersection most of the time, with others being named after street addresses, nearby buildings, or transportation facilities. Please do not put route numbers in a bus stop's name=* tag. The Name Is The Name Only. If you want to record the route numbers listed at a bus stop, use route_ref=*. This tag can be helpful when creating bus route relations from scratch. If you click on a bus stop at http://openbusmap.org/ it will show you the routes that stop there. Is this closer to what you're looking for? -Clay On Thu, Jul 16, 2020, 6:16 PM 80hnhtv4agou--- via Talk-transit < talk-transit@openstreetmap.org> wrote: > In the USA bus stops (flag stops) are located for the most part at > named intersections, that is at where the street > > sign is. > >so you DO know where you are. but on the OSM standard map the bus stop > tag depending on the > > editor does not show the route number, can you have the route number on > the tag ? > > the wiki on this seems to be written for a European standard. > > > ___ Talk-transit mailing list Talk-transit@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit
Re: [Talk-transit] bus stop name
The whole point of route relations is to allow multiple routes to be added to an individual object.

Re: [Talk-transit] bus stop name
No. Let the relations do their job.

[Talk-transit] bus stop name
In the USA bus stops (flag stops) are located for the most part at named intersections, that is at where the street sign is. so you DO know where you are. but on the OSM standard map the bus stop tag depending on the editor does not show the route number, can you have the route number on the tag ? the wiki on this seems to be written for a European standard. ___ Talk-transit mailing list Talk-transit@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit
