[nodes not platforms] If this applies to Heavy Rail and Light Rail rapid transit and not just Bus Stops, I object. The Transport layer on OpenStreetMap is much more useful at high zoom levels with Platform entities in the DB than it would be without them. From https://www.openstreetmap.org/query?lat=42.34752&lon=-71.09989#map=18/42.34678/-71.09936&layers=T one can see that the two lines do NOT share a platform so that one can not change directions with a wheelchair without taking two elevators, either of which may be out of service; but if there was only one platform between two lines, one could. THIS IS USEFUL TO MAP. I support simplicity, but agree with Einstein: Things should be as simple as possible, but not simpler. This proposal goes too far. -- Bill Ricker [email protected] https://www.linkedin.com/in/n1vux _______________________________________________ Talk-transit mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit
