Hi Stephen.
If the combination amenity=bus_stop, parking=yes really is a
park-and-ride station, you're right. But is that a correct
interpretation for it?
In Germany p+r spaces are signed as such, and I'm not sure wether they
are legally restricted to people who use the bus or train afterwards (if
not stated as such directly, like it's sometimes the case at airports
etc., where you have to put a corresponing parking ticket behind the
front window).
So yes, it's useful to know about the park-and-ride stuff, but
1) I agree with you, that probably parking=yes is not the best way to
tag that, and
2) (the more important question for me as a data consumer in this case),
if that tag combination is correctly interpreted as a P+R facility.
regards

It is an important point of difference to train and bus stations/stops
as to whether they have a dedicated Park and Ride carpark or not. It
is something I would find useful if I was searching for station POI's.
It's not just whether parking is nearby, but whether it's dedicated
to commuters - not something you can figure out just from how close
the parking is. And it is information that belongs to the station,
not the carpark.
On the other hand, I'm not sure that just adding parking=-yes on the
station/stop is the best way to tag this.

You can park in a lot of places, shall we add parking=yes to all of
them? You can also chew gum there, should we also add
chew_chewing_gum=yes?
A parking is an area, a bus stop is more or less a point. If the two
are close, you can see this in the db (and potentially also, if there
are any linear barriers between them). IMHO there is no need or sense
in combining the two, but if I were to emphasize on a parking with
annected bus stop I'd see it as an extra property of the parking, not
the bus stop.
cheers,
Martin
