The tag describes the capacity a facility is suitable for.
Common use cases
- The number of vehicles a facility holds, such as amenity=parking, amenity=bicycle_parking, amenity=taxi, or amenity=fuel.
- The number of visitors a facility holds, such as leisure=stadium, amenity=cinema or tourism=camp_site. However, for tourism=hotel, using rooms=* and beds=* is preferred.
- The number of children or students, an amenity=kindergarten or amenity=school can accept.
- The sleeping capacity of amenity=shelter + shelter_type=basic_hut.
- The number of vehicles that can be charged at the same time at a amenity=charging_station
This key is also used in conjunction with man_made=storage_tank to indicate the (non-discrete) volume or mass held by the tank.

| capacity:charging=* | yes/no/number |

yes/no/number |
|
A transportation mode (a.k.a vehicle category) can be added as subkey to mark the number of trucks or buses a parking lot can accommodate.
Or, e.g. in bicycle parking, number of spots, designed explicitly for cargo bikes. |
| capacity:persons=* | number |
|
Defines how many persons can be carried, used for example together with highway=elevator. If it's obvious that the maximum number of persons of a feature is meant, just use capacity=* for it. |
| capacity:persons=* capacity:caravans=* capacity:tents=* capacity:pitches=* capacity:beds=* capacity:rooms=* |
number |
|
On campsites capacity=* is ambiguous thus use the suitable subkeys to distinguish between number of persons and number of pitches. For a tourism=guest_house you may use Simple_Indoor_Tagging. |
| capacity:pupils=* capacity:teachers=* capacity:classrooms=* |
number |
|
Undocumented keys - Number of pupils/students and teachers a school is built for. Almost all occurrences are from few imports of data. |
| capacity:standard=* capacity:long=* |
number |
|
Defines the capacity of small / large vehicles when used with amenity=parking. if used with highway=services, highway=rest_area use parking:capacity:standard=*, parking:capacity:long=*. |
