Sounds like a long term ticket, though I would call it a pass.

Most students here in Japan use 3 month passes between 2 stations designated on their pass (digital or paper ones; Pasmo cards in Japan are these) and have to repurchased or renewed for another time period. This is separate from the "debit card" style of pre-paid cards (like a Suica card in Japan or a BART ticket in San Fran) that track money for individual fares. They are time based tickets that has unlimited use over a time (usually over a month) for a chosen route - so buying one is different than buying a single-use ticket.



I can see the use of "plan" (as it is a monthly, sessional, or yearly contract), but I have never heard it referred to as that. I would choose public_transport_long_term_pass or similar, but if it is in use and eventually documented and supported by mapping apps, then it should be fine.



There are only 75 of these .. ask the people who placed them in OSM for an answer as to what they mean by 'public_transport_plans".


There's the same kind of thing as the Pasmo card in Belgium. These are getting more and more common in different countries. I've tagged these as public_transport_tickets as I thought that public_transport_plans could mean maps, but it probably means long term "ticket". After checking its use in Germany, France and Netherlands, I'm sure it doesn't mean maps.

I think public_transport_tickets and public_transport_plans should be combined, maybe under a different name. Both can be sold at the same machine. And add the ability to specify if we can get a ticket, a card (rechargeable or not), a token, or if we can only recharge a card we already have.
