A stop area represents a grouping of related stop points. Stop areas may themselves be grouped hierarchically into larger stop areas using an ‘is part of’ relationship.
Tags were originally mapped onto a site relation with a site=stop_area as per the Unified StopArea proposal. However, it is now recommended to use public_transport=stop_area as per the updated Public Transport v2 proposal. If you see any using the old type=site + site=stop_area, please update to type=public_transport + public_transport=stop_area.
History
In February 2010, over 41,000 site relations tagged site=stop_area were imported to represent public transportation features in Germany, with the source tag "naptan_import". Such public transportation stop area features are now more commonly tagged as type=public_transport relations plus public_transport=stop_area.
