The public_transport=stop_area_group tag is de facto used as part of a relation to group stop areas that make up a public transport interchange: for example, a multi-modal interchange for buses, metros and trains.

public_transport=stop_area_group was not part of the proposal Proposed_features/Public_Transport and its definition and necessity is unclear. Consider to not use such relations.

Examples

• Gare du Nord (metro and train), Paris: 7938398 7938398
• Paddington (bus, metro and train), London: 7704139 7704139
• Syntagma (metro and tram), Athens: 7953734 7953734
• Tokyo station (bus, metro and train), Tokyo: 9333571 9333571

Some cities also use public_transport=stop_area_group for interchanges between two lines on the same network, such as Piccadilly Circus tube station in London (7704138 7704138): in those cases, each line has their own stop areas relation.
