Goal of this Public Transport Proposal

This proposal is an advancement of Oxomoa's Public Transport Schema (English translation).

This proposal covers a complete view on the public transport and extends the existing and well known tags with more exact and clearly defined new tags. Most of the proposed tags are already widely used. With some differences between the cities described in several wiki pages, the new tags are a de facto standard in several cities in Central Europe.

Main Problem with the existing Schema

  • Inconsistent handling of railway=tram_stop / railway=halt (node on the way) and highway=bus_stop (node beside the way).
  • Missing tag for stop position causes extra preprocessing for routing software.
  • No separate tags for stop position and platform / pole.
  • Insufficient possibility for line variants for bus lines.

The new Schema in Short

  • node on the way (street/rail) which marks the stop position (public_transport=stop_position).
  • way or area beside the way which marks the platform or node beside the way which marks the pole (public_transport=platform).
  • relation for stop area that contains all relevant elements of a train/subway/monorail/tram/bus/trolleybus/aerialway/ferry stop (type=public_transport/public_transport=stop_area) (optional).
  • The route-relation is split up into two separate direction-relations and separate route variants, if required.
  • The route master-relation contains all the relations for the route directions and variants (optional).

What this Proposal does not cover

  • This proposal does not replace, deprecate or obsolete the already existing and well known tags. The usage of the proposed tags is recommended but not mandatory.
  • Splitting up a route-relation into segments. This is covered by a separate proposal: Proposed_features/Route_Segments.
  • Facilities for handicapped passengers.
  • Timetable information.

Stop

Stops are physically represented by poles, shelters, timetables, platforms, bus bays and/or zigzag lines on the street. At the stop passengers are waiting for the transportation vehicle (train/subway/monorail/tram/bus/trolleybus/aerialway/ferry) and can board and leave them when they have stopped.

Stop Position

The stop position is the place where the vehicle usually stops on the rails or on the street.

The stop position is tagged as a node on the way, even when the bus stops in a bus bay. The stop position is tagged with the following attributes:

Key Value Comment Recommendation

Platform

The platform is the place where passengers are waiting for the vehicles.

The platform is tagged as way or area where the passengers can wait for the vehicles. If there is no platform in the real world, one can place a node at the pole with public_transport=platform.

Key Value Comment Recommendation

covered yes / no For platforms under the surface. This does not replace a correct layer key. recommended if yes, but not needed if there is a specific structure (other than a general landuse classification) on a higher layer covering the whole platform.

Station

A station is an area dedicated to and particularly designed for passenger access to Public Transport, considerably bigger than a pair of bus stops or tram stops.

These are typical properties of a station (not all of them need to be present):

  • A schematic layout
    • Multiple lanes or rail tracks with stop positions in parallel, with platforms along them
    • Alternatively, in particular at bus stations, there is one big platform in the middle, with stop positions and a service highway around it and maybe an additional platform on the outside with additional stop positions around the service highway
    • Of course, other layouts are possible
  • The station is not a normal part of the road network
    • No access for private motorcars (maybe except station related things, such as a drop-off zone for passengers) inside the station
    • The outline of the station (the schematic layout) can be recognised easily
  • There are amenities for waiting passengers, such as
    • Protection against the weather, which may be anything from a small shelter, up to a building around the whole station
    • Kiosks or vending machines
    • A Park&Ride parking beneath the station
    • Extensive Information Services
  • Many stations provide amenities for waiting drivers

The station itself is mapped as an area, usually covering the outline described above, including amenities located inside the dedicated area. If the station is completely (or most of it) inside a station building, the building is the outline. If the station is not fully or mostly covered by a building, any existing buildings should be mapped at their place inside the station outline.

If a station outline is not known, the station can be mapped as a node, leaving the details to others.

Please note that more than one station can be member of one and the same stop area. Conversely, it can happen that one station belongs to more than one stop area - if the station contains stop areas (or parts of these) with different attributes, such as different networks.

Key Value Comment Recommendation
public_transport station Defines the station as such. mandatory
name Individual name The name by which the station is known. recommended
area yes / no If the station outline is an area and not a building. required if yes, else optional
building yes / no If the station outline happens to be the main outline of the station building. required if yes, else optional
operator Operator Name of the company that operates the station building/area. optional
network Local / regional network Name of the network the station belongs to optional
covered yes / no For stations under the surface. This does not replace a correct layer key. recommended if yes, but not needed if there is a specific structure (other than a general landuse classification) on a higher layer covering the whole station.

relation Stop Area

The stop area is a relation that contains all elements of a train/subway/monorail/tram/bus/trolleybus/aerialway/ferry stop.

The stop area is the logical combination of the stop position(s) and the platform(s) and is tagged as a relation. The relation can also contain other elements like public_transport=station, amenity=shelter or amenity=bench. Alternatively they may be captured by appending the proper tags shelter=yes or bench=yes to the public_transport=platform-primitive.

Usually a stop area has one unique UIC reference and one unique name.

If only one node exists (e.g. only one node public_transport=platform representing the pole), it is recommended to forgo the stop area relation. Instead, put the information usually stored in the relation into the node attributes.

Key Value Comment Recommendation
type public_transport Defines this relation as a public transport relation. mandatory
public_transport stop_area Defines this relation as a stop area. mandatory

Route

A route/service is represented by vehicles that always run the same way with the same reference number.

relation Route Direction / Variant

Each direction or variant of a route is represented by a separate relation.

Each direction of a route should be tagged as a separate relation. If a route has several variants (e.g. different way at weekend), these variants should also be in separate relations.

The roles alternate, forward and backward should not be used any more.

Each direction/variant relation contains all available stop_positions, platforms and ways.

Each stop is included with two elements (if available): first the stop_position tagged with role stop and immediately followed by the corresponding platform tagged with role platform. The stops (stop_positions and platforms) should be inserted beginning with the initial stop_position/platform and ending with the terminal stop_position/platform.

If a stop is only for exiting or entering the vehicle (common for nightly services) the roles stop and platform should be replaced with stop_exit_only or stop_entry_only and platform_exit_only or platform_entry_only.

Inserting the stop_position is important to know where the vehicle stops. Inserting the platforms is needed for correct pedestrian routing.

After all the stops all the used ways should be inserted into the relation with an empty role. The ways should be inserted beginning with the way at the initial stop position and ending with the way at the terminal stop position.

Key Value Comment Recommendation
type route Defines the relation as route. mandatory

relation Route Master

The route master is a relation that contains all the direction and variant routes and the information that belongs to the whole service.

A master-relation contains all the important information that belongs to the service. All the variants/directions are members of this master relation.

ref:<qualifier> Operator's or network's reference The reference by which the service is known by a specific operator or network. recommended if the service changes the reference number when crossing the network's border
name <Vehicle type> <Reference number> Short prose description of route master. <Vehicle type> should be identical to route=*. Example: Bus 201 recommended
operator Operator Name of the company that operates the service. recommended if available

Examples

All the examples presented here are full featured examples. In practice after the first visit of an area one can only map the stop_position (sitting in the bus) or the platform (walking through). So it is common only to map one node per visit, hoping another mapper or will do further work.

Because the proposed tags do not get rendered at the moment, in these examples the well known tags are also added to the proposed tags. When and if this proposal gets approved and rendered, these duplicate tags will be removed.

Compatibility with well known tags

The proposed tags can and do coexist with the well known tags. The usage of the new tags is recommended but not mandatory.

This proposal covers several already existing and well known tags related to public transport. These well known tags still have their eligibility and can and do coexist with the well known tags. The usage of the new tags is recommended but not mandatory.

How the well known tags can be mapped/reused with the new public transport schema is described below:

Existing Tag Interpreted as Comment
highway=bus_stop beside a way/street where buses are allowed public_transport=platform This covers the pole/shelter of a bus stop and can be on a footway or sidewalk.
highway=bus_stop on a way/street where buses are allowed public_transport=stop_position + bus=yes This covers the stop position of a bus.
amenity=bus_station tagged as node beside a way/street public_transport=platform This covers the pole/shelter of a bus stop.
amenity=bus_station tagged as node on a way/street public_transport=stop_position + bus=yes This covers the stop position of a bus.
amenity=bus_station tagged as area public_transport=station + area=yes This covers the area of a bus station.
amenity=bus_station tagged as building public_transport=station + building=yes This covers a bus station building.
highway=platform public_transport=platform This covers the platform of a bus stop.
railway=tram_stop on the rails public_transport=stop_position + tram=yes This covers the stop position of a tram.
railway=halt on the rails public_transport=stop_position + train=yes This covers the stop position of a train.
railway=platform public_transport=platform This covers the platform of a tram/train stop.
railway=station tagged as area public_transport=station + area=yes This covers the area of the station.
railway=station tagged as building public_transport=station + building=yes This covers a building of a train station.
building=train_station public_transport=station + building=yes This covers a building of a train station.

Rendering

Stop Position

A stop position can be mapped as an icon depending of the vehicle type that is stopping at the position (e.g. highway=bus_stop) or as a blue or red point.

If the stop position is not part of a stop area then the name should get rendered too. If there is a stop area relation, the name of the stop area should get rendered instead once per stop area.

Platform

Should be rendered identical to railway=platform/highway=platform. Additionally also a node should get rendered.

If the platform is not part of a stop area then the name should get rendered too. If there is a stop area relation, the name of the stop area should get rendered instead once per stop area.

Station

If the station is a building, it should get rendered as a building. If it is an area, it can get rendered with a similar but different colour then the background.

Stop Area

For simple maps the name of the stop area should get rendered instead of the names of the underlaying nodes/ways. Special public transport maps can also draw the area where the stop area is located.

  • I don't like this proposal. I find many problems in this proposal which seems not mature enough for a vote :
    1. your replace highway=platform and highway=bus_stop by public_transport=platform. How do I know if the platform is for a bus or a tramway ? And in the daily language, people go to a 'bus stop' not to a 'platform'. Sounds that it is a proposal done by and for professionals, not for the average public of OSM contributors. And the wiki said until know that the 'stop' was about the area for passengers (user point of view), not the 'stop' for the bus itself (operator point of view). You change this fundamental definition and it will confuse a lot since many mappers tag as public transport users, not as operators.
    2. You suggest to replace amenity=bus_station by public_transport=station + area=yes. This is an overuse of the current tag area=*. Once you have a polygon, you don't need a tag area=yes in most of the current OSM tags (basically it is just required for highways because we don't know if a closed highway is a loop or a surface).
    3. I don't understand why you add train=yes on your public_transport=stop_position. If the node is on the railway, we know it is a train, not a bus !
    4. in the section 'Compatibility with well known tags', you suggest to replace highway=bus_stop by public_transport=platform. It's only true for those how tagged the bus-stop for passangers, not for those who tagged the node on the highway. Both co-existed in the past with the same tag and you ignore it in this paragraph.
    5. asking a relation for each variant of the route is over complicated. The method of how routes relations are already breaking highways is already stupid but that's another story. -- Pieren 14:26, 31 March 2011 (BST)
to 3.: "If the node is on the railway, we know it is a train, not a bus!" Sure? In Karlsruhe bus and tram/light_rail share some nodes and also train and light_rail share some nodes and at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:25a_Bf_Zwickau_Zentrum,_VT45_VB.jpg there may stop also a bus instead of the train ... --Mueck 18:05, 31 March 2011 (BST)
okay for 3. you ask all bus stops and trains stop to add bus=yes or train=yes because you can have a bus stoping on a railway. I though that we only map exceptions in OSM... --Pieren 21:01, 31 March 2011 (BST)
where do you get this from? Generally there are no defaults (besides some exceptions like layer=0) for omitted keys. --Dieterdreist 17:33, 6 April 2011 (BST)

  • I oppose this proposal I oppose this proposal. LMB 15:45, 3 April 2011 (BST). It's overblown, and forces mappers to do many things that could be easily done by a script. It's not mature enough.

  • I approve this proposal I approve this proposal. ... thinking that it's at least a step forward. However, I don't like the idea of creating a relation per direction / variant, requiring the wrong people to manage so many relation memberships for ways. We have to extend route relations to handle directions, variants, etc in general - not only for public transport. --Marl 15:16, 9 April 2011 (BST)
