[OSM-talk-be] Changed tagging of bus stops of De Lijn/TEC and MIVB/STIB

[Jo]

Hi,

After a few years of tagging bus stops around Belgium, I noticed we've been
doing it wrong... :-)

I changed this wiki page:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/Conventions/Bus_stops

The biggest problem I ran into, was that it seemed easier to use several
nodes for the different companies. As long as this was an exception in
border areas and Brussels, it didn't matter too much. TEC behaves like 6
different companies each assigning their own refs and now it became
commonplace.

After a discussion on the German forum I came to the conclusion there is a
better way.

For consistency I want to change all bus stops in Belgium to this scheme
and not only the ones which are near to other stops from different
companies.

While at this, I want to add network tags, they seem to be important for
some applications. Up to now we only mentioned operator.

For the past 2 days I've been preparing a dataset with 70000 stops, which
will probably be reduced to 60k to 65k stops by the time it's ready to be
uploaded.

Jo
