I totally agree, however we are just setting out on a long journey to
capture all the transit data for the world, so lets get the modelling
clear now and not be held back by some tag-updating!
As we are aware the various transit strands and proposals were
initially created bottom-up in a rather random way (which is the
nature of these projects). Oxomoa then did a good review of the
tagging and identified a number of gaps and inconsistencies with the
German community which started to bring it all together. We have also
had some useful input from the professional transit community.
I suggest that we put significant effort into the wiki and modelling
at this point to get all the transit related pages to fit together in
a consistent way to our liking and that this will pay big dividends in
the future.

Peter
