[Tagging] governmental / public_administrative landuse are not commercial

[John Willis]

That is an interesting question. I think that falls outside the goal of this tag but I am unsure. In America, Amtrak is nationalized, but I think most of their facilities would fall under transportation related things - railway stations, etc. but their main office, which is not a train station, would be landuse=civic(_admin) I think. 

The bus station would be transportation related, but their office, where all the paper-pushers reside, (who administers the service) 
Would probably be similarly tagged.
