[Tagging] Rail replacement bus service

[hanser]

Hello,

please consider my suggestion which I would like to transfer to an 
official proposal after the idea got some feedback from this mailing list.

Public rail transport normally has a rail replacement bus service[1] for 
when the rails are in maintenance or under construction. There exist bus 
stops that are designated for that special purpose – often with a 
special sign[2] which indicates this (sometimes additional) function. 
Also often there are signs[3] or marks on the floor[4] to direct the 
passengers to these stops.
So these stops are a permanent setup and worthy to be mapped in OSM. 
Especially because in smaller train stations these signs are often 
insufficiently frequent, if present at all – and OSM could be of great 
help in navigating to the stops. For my region, the railway company has 
a portal[5] where you can download a map for directions to the 
replacement service for a certain train station[6].

The suggestion is to be able to add the tag
*rail_replacement_service=yes*
to public_transport denoted elements.

Do you have any thoughts about this? Any help in general would be highly 
appreciated, since this is my first osm proposal :)

Thanks a lot for your consideration
