How to map prepared and planned bus stops that are not in use yet?
Recently the city redesigned the street and prepared at least 4 bus stops. The stops all have the road markings and tactile paving, etc. but no bus stop signs yet and currently no line stops there. (There is an ongoing reorganization of bus lines in my area.)
The wiki page describes how to map a bus stop and I can follow along. Everything except the line(s) and the names is local knowledge.
How should those be mapped (if at all)? Map what’s known already and add construction:bus_stop?
I'm new to OSM as well, but
bus_stop=constructionmight be the right call? Sounds like it's past the planning stage.https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dconstruction
@Dirk
If they have started construction they are definitely verifiable enough to map.The road markings might justify a
public\_transport=stop\_positionif that is common in your area, otherwise I think should be enough to just add a node withhighway=constructionandconstruction=bus\_stoproughly where the pole or shelter will be.https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:public_transport%3Dstop_position
Mmmh, yes, this seems to be reasonable, thanks!
The more I think about it the more I don't see a real reason to map those stops in their current state.
@Dirk If anyone knows, Trufi knows. We'll see if we can send someone your way for an answer. Meanwhile, consider taking our free course on mapping public transport:
