Agreed. > Do you think Tram should be included in Rail or be discussed separately? I'd suggest having a separate page, as the sharing of the ways with highways (street running) causes quite a few complications which aren't experienced with Rail. I'm not sure whether "Trams", "Tramways" or "Tram systems" is the best name for the page - any thoughts? Whichever we pick, the others should be a redirect. You will also notice that I am also plugging a proposal I am > developing for a new consistent Stop Place model ( based on Oxoma's > proposal) which you can read about here: > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:PeterIto/Stop_Place I'm getting a little confused by having so many separate proposals on so many different pages (many of which are user pages). I'd suggest: a) developing these schemes within the public namespace, so as to encourage more collaboration/discussion. b) splitting the pages down into smaller components - eg railways, bus stops, train services, train stations, etc. Whilst it's good to have an overall conceptual model, I think most mappers will be more interested in understanding how to tag at a feature level. I think we should also remove the redirect from http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:public_transport and turn that into a standard Key page (with the KeyDescription infobox) documenting existing and proposed usage of the key. Likewise, it'd be useful to have the relevant tag and key pages for all the other tags and keys that are in use or proposed.
