[Accessibility] wheelchair=yes/no vs. public_transport=stop_position/platform

[Lulu-Ann at gmx.de]

Hi

my opinion is, that a stop positon can be usable for wheelchairs or not (high kerb for low floor busses) and a platform can (ramp yes/no).
So tag what is sensible.

You should discuss with Raul from wheelchair.org !

I assume as platforma are areas, the wheelchair.org is not able to tag them, but only nodes ?

Best regards
Lulu-Ann
