<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi.<br>
While I can see that there's the change from highway=bus_stop to
public_transport=platform documented in the wiki, I did not follow
that process when it happened, I think, but:<br>
How is the fact tagged that any particular platform is a bus stop,
and not e.g. a tram platform? Do we really rely on relations for
bus and tram routes to exist and contain this platform as a member
to decide upon that?<br>
<br>
I therefore would still add both tags, as IMHO
public_transport=platform does not tell the same stuff.<br>
<br>

for it. Until now I added both highway=platform and
public_transport=platform to them. As far as I'm concerned, that's
tagging for the renderer though. I could, of course, add both
highway=bus_stop and public_transport=platform to the 40000 stops
in Flanders, but I consider that a waste of precious space and
bandwith.<br>
<br>
I'd prefer to have 1 tag for 1 concept and that's the reason why
the proposal got my vote. I'm very patient and I certainly didn't
expect it to be implemented everywhere right away, but we're 1,5
years further now.<br>
<br>
I'll roll back the 100 or some such I already did and I'll go back
to waiting for the rest of the osm world to catch up. I can change
them in bulk at some point in the future.<br>
<br>
It seemed like a good opportunity to convert them now, as I'm
reviewing all the stops in my region and it helped me to keep
track of my progress. I created a nice new mapcss for the purpose,
showing me the name, ref, zone as well as a route_ref and also a
not_served_by, which I need for automatic quality checking.
route_ref is interesting as well for bus service which most
probably won't get a route relation (schoolbuses, market buses,
student services and on call services (Belbus)).<br>
<br>
If Mapnik ever gets changed, maybe amenity=shelter,
shelter_type=public_transport can also be rendered differently,
since now there seem to be a lot of hiking shelters next to the
roads in Belgium.<br>

I think you are reading the public_transport=platform tag
too literally.<br>
It merely denotes the place where passengers are waiting for
the<br>
transportation vehicle. It does not distinguish between flat
and raised<br>
structures.<br>
<br>
Quoting the wiki, "If there is no platform in the real
world, one can<br>
place a node at the pole."<br>
