[Tagging] aerialway=drag_lift

[Philip Barnes]

iD contains a lot of Americanisms.

Until this discussion I had never heard of a platter lift. I am guessing they are what we brits normally call either a button lift, or more usually a poma lift (although that's a trade mark). These are common in France. T-bars are more common in Austria.

So, why we have platters, and why it is recommended on iD editor ? And what is the utility of t-bar, because it's a platter with 2 persons, so aerialway:occupancy=2, no ?


I can't understand why it is duplicate. It's not good…

I think we can delete aerialway=drag_lift of Openstreetmap's wiki because it's a duplication of platter. Same thing for t-bar, for 2 places platters, we have the tag aerialway:occupancy=2, which is not easily parametrable in iD editor. 


According to taginfo, aerialway=platter is used much fewer than drag_lift and t-bar is almost at par with platter. The proposal states that this is only to be used for "Platter lift, similar to a t-bar, but with a disc instead of a bar. Single-person only. "
