[Talk-transit] Stop according to new PT scheme not rendered?

[Jo]

Eventually has already taken 2 years and might take another 5. I tag all my
bus stops with highway=bus_stop, I'll replace it on all 40000 of them with
public_transport=platform/bus=yes at some point in the distant future.
I've been asking to render it for ages now and I gave up hope.
I also don't see why I would be double tagging though.

The problem is, of course, that in my route relations I do use the role
platform, and JOSM's validator doesn't like that. So be it. It's annoying
when this pops up in other people's sessions though and they start asking
questions about it.

The icon you see in JOSM, is just an icon. The internal rendering rules
give precedence to railway=tram_stop or public_transport=platform/tram=yes.
That's not a problem.

No reason for separating them.

I do separate stops over different nodes when they belong to different
operators though, because sometimes the zones differ, or the refs, or the
names. I then combine them into a stop_area relation, together with a node
public_transport=stop_position/bus=yes (as a node of the highway). I don't
always create these and I never add them to the route relations.

The route relations are a pain to maintain, no need to make it even more
complicated.
