Resolved: Recommendations adopted 18 February 2023
network=*
Resolved: Recommendations adopted 18 February 2023Currently, the recommendation is to use network=Calgary Transit. However, a default point feature type, called CT, already exists that automatically sets bus stop network values as follows.
TagInfo
Looking at the tag info, there are nearly 10-times as many features tagged with network=CT.
Network Abbreviations
In the article, Buses#Adding a bus route to OpenStreetMap, the description of network=* permits using abbreviations. While the article, Key:network#Public transit, states,
There is currently no consensus whether the values should be abbreviated or not.
Recommendations
Since a default feature type already exists, there are significantly more uses of network=CT, and network abbreviations are permissible, I suggest the following.
- Modify Calgary Transit#Bus Stops to recommend using network=CT for the Regular bus stop, Future bus stop, and Bus zone sections
- Manually replace existing network=Calgary Transit tags with network=CT
- Add the section Possible tagging mistakes to Calgary Transit with the following information
