Hello,

I've posted this question on the French transport list as well.

When examining the changesets of RB94, I found an anomaly.

The question is: what, exactly, is a tram?

I asked TRuchin, who gave me a technical explanation. (Apparently the
wheels are different.)

But I think this is a tram, not a kind of bus:

I use the duck test. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a
duck.

The RATP calls it a tram. Its name is "T6", T for Tram. So to me, it's a
tram.

Finally, if we want to use the tag highway=bus_guideway, and not
railway=tram, we should change all the stops, because they should be:
highway=bus_stop + public_transport=platform + bus=yes

not :
railway=tram_stop + public_transport=platform + tram=yes

Maybe a solution is:

railway=tram
tram: type = bus_guideway

Other ideas?

Regards,

John
