Thanks Henning and Martin, My main concern was whether this is a "ferry" service, as it's on demand. So that doesn't cause you problems. :-)
The remaining tagging is less of a problem. The name of the service? It's most likely "Bragozzo Ulisse" (which is their first boat; "bragozzo" is, or better was, the standard cargo boat type in the lagoon). I fear it won't make things clearer when this appears on a map. If I put the info that this is a on-call ferry for bicycles as "description" tag, it won't be visible with any normal renderer. Martin, what do you mean by putting it in the attributes? Something like: route=ferry on_demand=yes (???) motor_vehicle=no bicycle=yes foot=yes operator=Tiozzo Marco (this is the name of the person who runs the service) name=Bragozzo Ulisse duration=00:15 Opening hours= ... (could be copied from the web site) website=http://www.giteinlaguna.com/servizio-a-chiamata description=on-call service for bicycles phone=+39 3478652845 fee=yes Things are a bit complicated as far as calling the service is concerned: Normally, when the boat is waiting for passengers, it is moored in Chioggia. The same person also operates a bicycle rental service at the same location. When the boat is out or if you want to catch it in Pellestrina, you need to call his mobile phone. I would not know how to put this info in tags. I am looking into this now as the cycle route along the islands has been officially trailblazed. And there are two other ferry services to be mapped on the other two inlets of the lagoon (Malamocco and Lido). The Malamocco inlet is crossed by a scheduled car ferry - no problem there. The Lido inlet is more complex: there are several water bus lines crossing this inlet, but they officially do not carry bicycles. However it's up to the individual captain of the vaporetto, if and how many bicycles he accepts (in my personal experience between zero and seven on the same type of boat, depending mainly on the mood of the captain. :-( ) ---- BTW what is the tag for a water bus (vaporetto) - in Venice there is a distinction between three classes of services: 'vaporetto' only carries passengers (with few exceptions - see above), 'motonave' carries passengers and bicycles, 'ferryboat' carries motorvehicles and ll the rest). I suppose 'vaporetto' should be route=ferry plus vehicles=no (which at present is missing on the Venice vaporetto routes) --- Volker On 6 December 2012 13:36, Martin Koppenhoefer <[email protected]>wrote: > 2012/12/6 Henning Scholland <[email protected]>: > > Am 06.12.2012 12:48, schrieb Volker Schmidt: > > I think this isn't the name of the ferry-route, isn't it?
