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.


Regards,



Peter
