The problem is that people think that a vote on the wiki pages means that the 
far more common tag is wrong. I tag my bus stops with highway=bus_stop (as well 
as operator, ref and shelter/bench information)

Subject: Re: [OSM-talk] Interesting cases of vandalism?

 

Ouch, you hit a sore spot there. I'm in the process of adding 35000 stops for 
the northern part of Belgium. If I simply add the tags approved over a year 
ago, they won't be rendered.
So I'll keep with the highway=bus_stop tag for the time being. Adding both ways 
of doing things seems like a waste of space and tagging for the renderer. 
Having to retag them in bulk sometime in the far away future, seems like 
pollution of the history, though.

So the big question is: when will bus stops tagged with only the newly accepted 
system be rendered (preferably on all relevant renderings), so I can do this 
operation 'right' all in one go?

I shudder at the tought that removing highway=bus_stop from them would be 
considered an act of vandalism. Maybe I should not care about rendering and 
simply not add that tag in the first place...
