Status: approvedPage for proposal

The key gtfs:platform_code=* is used in Public transportation tagging to add the platform_code from the GTFS stops.txt file to a platform.

It is used to find a corresponding location in a GTFS feed. For this the feed needs to be specified using a feed code suffix (see List of GTFS feeds).

For a longer explanation on how to reference a GTFS feed, look at GTFS.

Combining with ref=*

There is no mechanism to infer a value of this key based on tags like ref=*, railway:ref=*, ref:IFOPT=*.

Such a mechanism may cause links to GTFS objects to break when those other tags are changed. - even for something small changes like formatting.

Therefore tagging both gtfs:platform_code:[[Key:|]]=* and the other tag is encouraged, even if they have the same value.

Example

Consider [osm:node/44061300]Nijmegen Centraal platform M, it is a platform which we can find in the file stops.txt in the GTFS feed.

Below is the relevant section of that table.

stops.txt
stop_id stop_code stop_name location_type parent_station platform_code ...
2547419 60001013 Nijmegen, Centraal Station 0 (platform) stoparea:122872 M

To refer to this object we can add gtfs:platform_code:NL-OVApi=M with (e.g.) gtfs:stop_name:NL-OVApi:[[Key:|]]=Nijmegen, Centraal Station.

Additionally we can add ref=M.
