busway
was a tag to denote the existence of bus lanes. It has been deprecated in favour of lanes:bus=*
and bus:lanes=*
which are more flexible in use. However, the key itself hasn't been deprecated because it still can be used to specify the type of highway=busway
akin to how footway=*
is used to specify the type of highway=footway
and cycleway=*
for the type of highway=cycleway
respectively.
Deprecated usage for bus lanes
was a tag which denotes the existence of bus lanes on a road. Adding the suffix :left or :right makes it more clear where the bus lane is located on the road while adding a :both denotes an unambiguous existence of bus lanes on both sides of the road similar to how busway=lane
cycleway=lane
is tagged. The current standard is to use lanes:bus=*
(or lanes:psv=*
depending on the local laws) or bus:lanes=*
in combination with access:lanes=*
.
was a rarely tag which too denotes exceptions to one-way traffic for buses when no contraflow bus lane exists. It's been already unofficially replaced by busway=opposite
oneway:bus=no
long ago. See Proposal:Deprecate cycleway=opposite family for more information.
is a combination of the two above tags in that a contraflow bus lane exists. The alternative is similarly a combination of these tags i.e. busway=opposite_lane
oneway:bus=no
and either lanes:bus:backward=*
or bus:lanes:backward=*
(access already implied by oneway=yes
).
