(Sorry for not writing in Swedish to the list but my Swedish is probably
much worse than your English.)

Hello all,

I live in Malmö and I have done some improvements on Triangeln Station
which I believe align better with the "new" public transport feature
approved in late 2011, but before I upload my changes I would like to
hear the opinion from some other fellow OSMers who live nearby and know
the station.

The way Triangeln was mapped before the proposed change was that there
were two buildings, both marked as a train station, which had the same
name. This is a bit misleading since there are not two Triangeln
stations; Triangeln is a single underground station that happens to have
two separate entrances via two separate buildings. To better reflect
reality, I mapped Triangeln as a single underground (layer=-2, same as
the platforms) area marked as public_transport=station (and also
railway=station for maximum compatibility) where platforms and the
buildings are contained within. The two buildings where the entrances
are still keep the name "Triangeln Station" but are now marked as
building=train_station (and *not* railway=station). Within each
building, just at the beginning of the stairs, there is a node tagged
with railway=subway_entrance (which besides the name should be
applicable to any underground train station) and each node has the name
"Nörra upgången" and "Södra uppgången".

All these new elements are also part of the existing "Triangeln"
relation tagged as public_transport=stop_area. (I'm not really sure if
the Triangeln bus stop and the Triangeln train station should really be
part of the a single stop_area or not, but that's a separate discussion
and I kept the existing relation where both are a single area.)

If you want to see the new Triangeln for yourself, I published an OSM
XML file with all my changes here (~650KB):

I genuinely think that the new layout is an improvement to the current
one. What do you all think?

Cheers,
Leonardo.
