I see your problem We map them with their real name over here so you get metro/bus/rail named the same, exactly the same. I still think you can keep your names if you want to, try to keep data purists away. We do create data that is used on maps and routers so the most important thing is that the data make sense.
When you search for routing information from the public transport companies you get other names, they still won't contain info whether it's a buss/metro/rail or not. On the ground locally it's quite clear what they do, i.e. a buss, but if you see it in a routing data base it's almost impossible to know which is which unless you name them differently. So while I think the use described here is ok, I have to ask is there anyone using the official_name=* alt_name=* tags, and how are they used in real life? _______________________________________________ Talk-transit mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit
