<div dir="ltr">I think a bus stop node on the bus route is exactly what is needed to route people from anywhere to anywhere. You connect the pedestrian route to the bus route at that point. It does not really matter if the route includes a platform way, or a platform node, as long as it's part of the pedestrian route from the stop to any other routable way.<div><br></div><div>That's what I think. </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2018-06-23 0:55 GMT+02:00 Graeme Fitzpatrick <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:graemefitz1@gmail.com" target="_blank">graemefitz1@gmail.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr" class="m_6391590182237394411gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div>On Fri, 22 Jun 2018 at 19:36, Martin Koppenhoefer <<a href="mailto:dieterdreist@gmail.com" target="_blank">dieterdreist@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><div><br></div><div>Have been following this whole conversation with interest (&, I must admit, some confusion!).</div><div><br></div><div>Not wanting to be at all awkward :-), but if</div></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div><div class="gmail_quote"><span class=""><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><div>The stop_position is the spot where the vehicle stops, it is not strictly needed for routing (of pedestrians) but the bus needs to know where to stop (doesn't typically need OSM navigation to drive his bus though).</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>then why are we all worrying so much about stop positions?
