[OSM-talk] Tag combinations: amenity and highway

[Stephen Hope]

It is an important point of difference to train and bus stations/stops as
to whether they have a dedicated Park and Ride carpark or not. It is
something I would find useful if I was searching for station POI's.  It's
not just whether parking is nearby, but whether it's dedicated to commuters
- not something you can figure out just from how close the parking is.  And
it is information that belongs to the station, not the carpark.

On the other hand, I'm not sure that just adding parking=-yes on the
station/stop is the best way to tag this.
