Proposal
The propose was to add the stop station for walking bus. The walking bus are increasing in a lot of city, more information about walking bus are on the Wikipedia page.
Rationale
The tag could be very important for have a knowledge of this service in all the city in the world, like is possible to see how this service is spread all over the world in the site that group the diffusion all over the world. This could also be useful to approach new people to the use of OpenStreetMap, in particular family and child.
Examples
One example could be the city of Milan with is service that reach 57 primary school in the city, with 88 line and more than 600 children that use it. For every line there are more or less 4 stop for a total number of more than 350 stops only in Milan. There are some data about the result of the year 2015 on the site (in Italian) of the municipality of Milan.
Tagging
The propose it's to add the stop of walking bus in a similar way like bus ones, with a similar combination of tags changing creating a new tag instend of tag : highway=bus_stop. After the discussion and according to the Public Transport v2 scheme, the tag should be used with the tag : public_transport=platform plus the new tag : walkingbus=yes, like for the version of PTv2 for bus and other public transport.
After the discussion about the fact that the walking school bus is not like a public transport the propose went to tag it like an amenity, in the subcategory transportation, like a stop for taxi ( tag : amenity=taxi ).
Adding also the recommended tag use for stops.
