[Imports-us] Uploading transit data points

I took a quick look at this sample data. Some of it seems to match to
data we already map, while some of it doesn't. Here's how I'd match it up.
Note that I haven't actually looked at the area to see how things are
currently tagged, so if they're using e.g. the older highway=bus_stop
tagging this matching would have to be adapted.
Rout ID / RouteNum / RouteName => one of these would be route_ref=* on a
public_transport=platform. But which one? What's the difference?
Stop ID => Why is this always 0 in the sample data? Does it mean anything?
Stop # => ref=* on a public_transport=platform
Stop Name => name=* on a public_transport=platform (but not if you made
these names up yourself, which I've seen people do)
Features / FeaturesUnabbreviated => What are near side stop, far side
stop, and corner stop? shelter can go to shelter=yes on
public_transport=platform
Transfers => We wouldn't tag this in OSM. Instead, we'd make sure all
the routes are listed in route_ref=* and also make sure the platform is
a member of route relations for each applicable route.
STOP_SEQ => We wouldn't tag this in OSM. Instead, we'd make sure stop
positions and platforms are listed in order in a route relation.
Direction => We wouldn't tag this in OSM. Instead, each direction would
be a separate route relation
Intersection => We wouldn't tag this in OSM.
Notes => We wouldn't tag this in OSM. It could be inferred from the
geometry in the route relation.
Date Revised => We wouldn't tag this in OSM.
Latitude / Longitude => This would be the coordinates of the points
entered. Hopefully many of these stops have already been entered, though!
Stop Type / StopTypeUnabbreviated / StopLength => We do not currently
have any way of tagging this in OSM. Do you think it would be useful
information for the users you work with? If so, we can work out what the
best way of incorporating it is.
Access => What does this refer to, and what does the value "A" mean?
Shelter => If it's not important to keep the ID, this can just be
shelter=yes on a public_transport=platform (as mentioned in features,
above). If it IS important to keep the ID, you can map the shelter as a
separate object, tag ref=* on the shelter, and then associate the
shelter to the platform with a stop_area relation. Personally I'd drop
the ID.
Muni Notes => Does anything here need to be kept?
Those are of course just my quick opinions on how I'd match it. Anything
in there that doesn't work for you? Or more information about the bits I
wasn't sure about?
