The key service_times=* is generally used to indicate the service times of a given feature, if they differ from the opening hours or if a special service is offered during these times (e.g. churches) . Otherwise please use opening_hours=*.

Use collection_times=* for the times of "servicing" post boxes, recycling containers, etc.

Tagging Syntax

The syntax for the value follows collection_times=*. In particular, points in time as described in the opening_hours specification are acceptable and common while actual opening hours are usually given as time ranges.

Example

For example, in a church or other religious place of worship (amenity=place_of_worship) there are times for worship services and opening_hours=* which indicate the times when the place is open to visitors. A nine o'clock Sunday service is represented as Su 09:00. Two services on Sunday might be represented as Su 09:00,18:00. Service between 5 and 7 pm on the first Thursday of the Month is represented as Th[1] 17:00-19:00.

service_times=none if there is no regular service.

Multilingual Services

For churches that provide worship services in different languages, they may be tagged as either:

• service_times:<lg>=*

e.g. service_times:fr=Su 09:00

• service_times=* "<lg>"

e.g. service_times=Su 09:00 "French"

If extra languages are tagged, the main language used should also be tagged e.g.

• service_times:en=Su 09:00
• service_times:de=Su 11:00
• service_times=Su 09:00 "English",11:00 "German"
