Personally I would suggest that if its Painted on the road, its Physically Present, whether the flag is there or not. I would suggest that a bus stop that is not physically_present is one that is not marked in any way shape or form, but a location where bus stop to take on, or set down passengers. (This may include out side a Train Station when a rail replacement service is running) If the flag is missing, feel free to put that in the notes (unless there is a tag for such things....) (Maybe a railreplacement=yes tag might not be a bad idea) Peter _______________________________________________ Talk-transit mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit
