[talk-au] Undiscussed, undocumented mass edit across all of Australia.

[Phil Wyatt]

Hi Thorsten,

 

I am pretty sure every bus stop in Tasmania has public_transport=platform
but they are predominately nodes (as we have total rubbish public transport
system here!). I am also not sure if it matters that there is a shelter or
seat, it still gets the platform tag. I think its also a validation in the
ID editor as well (cant be 100% sure)

 

The transport enthusiasts will be able to give more information

 

Cheers - Phil

To quote my changeset comment:

This undiscussed, undocumented mass edit that didn't follow the
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct is
introducing a huge amount of incorrect data to the database and should be
reverted.

public_transport=platform doesn't automatically go onto every
highway=bus_stop, only in cases where that's the only thing that's mapped. 

If there is an actual waiting area of any kind, the
public_transport=platform belongs on that instead.
