please: NO MORE TAGS Either... can we mix all the tags of all the versions of Public transport into a UNIQUE scheme for ALL kinds of transports, tagging it at the same way with the same name: from electric autonomous buses to new Uber's helicopters? A scheme has to be scalable. Can we define that? Can we design that? -Basic parts -Basic tags -Basic values
And then... some kind of automated conversion of tags done by local communities, with specific instructions at the wiki. Also tag as deprecated all the old mixed stuff. What do you think?
