To clarify, I'm not looking to put<br>> detailed timetable information in (that properly belongs in a GTFS feed or<br>> somesuch, not OSM), just a broad-brush indication to help routing engines.<br>> <br>> Based on Richard M's and Janko's suggestions, I'm tempted to use:<br>> <br>> journeys=4/hour<br>> journeys=2 or journeys=2/day<br>> journeys=on_demand<br>> <br>> to indicate, respectively, four journeys in each direction per day; two<br>> journeys in each direction per day; and the sort of ferry where you go to<br>> the bank, wave the ferryman down, and he comes to take you across.<br>> <br>> That avoids any confusion about "frequency" (a tram might have both<br>> meanings!) and is simple both for the mapper and for the consumer.<br>> <br>> I note there's also a reservation= tag<br>> (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:reservation) which will be useful<br>> for ferries where booking in advance is required.<br>> <br>> cheers<br>> Richard<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> --<br>> View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Ferry-frequency-tp5780010p5780141.html<br>> Sent from the Tagging mailing list archive at Nabble.com.<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Tagging mailing list<br>> Tagging@openstreetmap.org<br>> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging<br></div> </div></body>
