[OSM-talk] Prolification of the amenity tag

Though I generally agree with your point, park & ride is a valuable  
navigation feature for anyone driving into a city. It may  
significantly alter the route you choose and determine the eventual  
destination of your journey. I would ask you to reconsider your vote  
against here.
