Yes, great idea!

I reckon amenity=car_share on a node marking the parking spot. Question -
if you have three cars in adjacent parking spaces (as we have here at
BedZED) do you mark it with three nodes, or an additional tag on a single
node?


This makes me really want to do a green transport map of London some time,
highlighting:
- cycle routes and footpaths
- public transport stations/stops & routes
- car clubs
- electric car charging points, biodeisel places, etc.

Something to revisit in 2008 :)

Kind regards,
Tom
