Hi everyone TfWM(Transport for West Midands) in the UK have recently introduced the Swift Card (similar to TfL's Oyster Card) and have started installing Swift Collectors in bus shelters and bus stations. Swift Collectors are where you insert your Swift Card to get the stored-value topped-up: you can't make payments- that has to be done elsewhere.
So how to tag? The tagging schema at the map features wiki page doesn't seem to fit. It's alright until you get the payment options amenity=vending_machine vending=public_transport_tickets payment:xxxx=xxxx Perhaps payment=no top_up=yes The second problem is associating these collectors with the pole or shelter which is where they are physically located. Should they be a separate node adjacent to the bus_stop node? Adding the tags to bus_stop might confuse everything - is it a bus_stop or a vending_machine? How have other folk approached this problem? Cross-posted from talk-gb I realise we're behind the times talking about bus_stops rather than platforms ( it's a UK thing) Regards Brian
