[Talk-GB] Importing NaPTAN Data

[Brian Prangle]

It's also useful to add

shelter=yes if there is one
route_ref= x;y  indicating bus route nos that stop there (if indicated on
the stop)
CUS stops are also useful to add but omitting the highway=bus-stop tag (
you can always add the public tranpsort stop_poisition as a node on the
highway). They often become marked with pole over time
There's also a relatively new tag to indicate if the bus stop allows the
bus to pull in to a small layby off the main highway (but I've forgotten
what it is)

Your local bus authority might also be able to help (in the West Mids TfWM
have been very helpful)

Personally I've given up on bus route relations: they're a time sink in
editing them in the first place and they're even more of a time sink to
maintain. I think they're better off in a separate layer in dedicated
journey planners maintained by public transport authorities.
