Hi all,
A new bicycle-sharing scheme called MEVO has just (sort of) started in
Poland.
It consists of 660 stations, which function like regular bicycle
stands (no active parts).
The bikes are station-less, which means they can be left in almost any
place in the city except excluded zones (albeit for a small extra
fee). The normal intended usage is to leave them at stations, which is
verified by GPS geofencing. This implies that people may (and they
did) leave more bicycles than there are stands at some stations.
How should we map the number of stands, if it's not really a measure
of capacity?
One mapper that mapped them went with e.g. capacity="5 stands", but
this doesn't seem elegant or parsable to me.
I'd go with the number of stands.
When I do a car park .. I do the number that have spaces, I do not count
the cars parked outside those spaces! Reason, those outside the spaces
inconvenience at least the rest.
Same with tent sites.
The capacity should be about what it is built for, what is legal.
