Hi everyone
Back in the day of the original NapPTAN import we imported pay scale
areas - tagged as public_transport=pay_scale_area. I don't know why we
ever did this - there's no evidence on the ground and it's highly
unlikely that any OSM data consumer makes use of them ( if indeed they
are still current).
I actually did use the local ones (when they were accurate), but as the
bus companies changed their rules I deleted them because they were just
wrong.
The information is better in public_transport applications run by
public transport bodies
Can you give an example of where such information might be found? I
could hesitate a guess*, but I suspect not every reader of this list in
the future would necessarily be aware of that.
So I'm proposing that they are all deleted
The equivalent for anywhere with a sane public transport system might
object, but it could be that no such place exists outside London...
Best Regards,
Andy
* locally a combination of the council website, Bus company websites,
Traveline and Google Maps are all likely to be equally wrong in
different ways. There is no authoritative answer. When services were
withdrawn due to government cuts last year the best answer was usually
to ask the driver when a particular service would stop running.
