I agree that highway=bus_guideway deserved it's own tag, since it is halfway to a rubber-tyred light metro, and quite similar to the "people mover" systems often found at airports, which often use concrete guidways and rubber-tired vehicles.
But since other busways serve the same public transit function and are exclusively for public transportation use, they are functionally similar from the perspective of a rider or a mapper. And there are already some examples of highway=bus_guideway getting misused for other busways, so it would be helpful to settle on the best way to tag these: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/4226#issue-724131173 -- Joseph Eisenberg On Mon, Oct 19, 2020 at 4:02 AM Mateusz Konieczny via Tagging < tagging@openstreetmap.org> wrote: > > 18 paź 2020, 20:22 od joseph.eisenb...@gmail.com: > > While the current tagging is ok, it seems inconsistent that > highway=bus_guideway gets its own tag, while other busways which are > similar in function are tagged as highway=service. > > Given that rail-like bus guideway is > drastically different in its structure from > roads I see no problem with it getting a > separate highway value. > _______________________________________________ > Tagging mailing list > Tagging@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging >
