Dear all, According to the talk page (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Public_Transport#name_as_.22prose_description.22.3F), the use of name=* key on a public transport route is considered an abuse (unless the route has a real name). However, without abusing the name tag, the life is difficult for both the mapper and the user. Consider the following metro route_master: http://openstreetmap.org/relation/272132 There are, in total, 27 different variants of the line in the real world (2 directions times 2 sets times 2 different branches with multiple short runs all under the name East Rail Line), mapped with different combinations of from=*, to=* and via=* keys. Without abusing the name tag users have difficulty selecting the correct service, for example in JOSM and OsmAnd.
How should we cope with the situation like this? Michael -- Sent from KMail _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
