I guess this is the example where this simple analogy fails: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/334559271 The route for personal journey might be undefined on the ends (drivers just use their eyes there), public transport routing is more strict. > I wasn't able to understand enough of the link about updating transit > features in Warsaw to see how the stop_position nodes were useful.

Sorry for asking, but you probably know this documentation quite good - do we really tell people that every element of a public transport stop is needed just because it's documented somewhere? > The complexity of the current system, as described on the main pages > in the wiki, can discourage mapping anything (for example, I've been > discouraged from trying to add any of the minibus routes in my part of > Indonesia, since it seemed so complicated to make so many features and > routes). So maybe documentation should be just cleaned? And if I understand you wrong, could you describe what was your problem there? -- "Pojechałam truizmem, ale mogę, bo jestem trochę pierdołą" [P.
