Add tram stops

[pnorman]

railway=tram_stop

I'm inclined to think this should go with highway=bus_stop into its own layer.

A transport_poi/transport_stop layer?
We can also include them in poi for now.

[pnorman]

Any decisions on this?

I'm inclined towards having one field for transit mode and another for station vs stop. You've got both bus station / bus stop and railway station / railway halt.

Do you favor a field over a separate transport layer?
For me either way is good. The poi layer as of right now is really not refined at all. The next implementation of the poi layers can adjust to your proposed schema. I have no hard opinions here.

I think it should be a separate layer as the stops get can rather numerous in cities, and I can see that many would not find it strictly necessary for their uses.

A separate layer for each mode?

transport_stop is an okay name, but I like transit_stop better because we're dealing with just transit stuff, not stuff like stop signs.

Although I support adding a layer, I don't find data density a reason to do so.

Just to note, the mods that I have are

• ferry
• rail
• taxi
• bus

I intend to add subway ClearTables/ClearTables#101 but need to work out some issues first

[lukasmartinelli]

Can you list the new fields and the possible values like you did for the other layers so I can add them to the docs?

So transit_stop= on of ferry, rail, taxi, bus ?

BTW. is there already an endpoint for the Wikimedia tiles?

[pnorman]

fields

• mode (text) The mode of transportation. Values are ferry, rail, taxi, bus, and subway (not implemented by me yet)
• station (boolean) If the feature is a larger station or a small stop.

Within ClearTables I'm calling the mode of transportation "transit_mode" to avoid name collisions with the "mode" function when writing queries.

BTW. is there already an endpoint for the Wikimedia tiles?

The best bet is to poke me in #wikimedia-interactive on irc.freenode.net. There is a dev instance running Kosmtik with the tiles on a wmflabs machine, but Kosmtik gets shut down and restarted fairly regularly.

Most of this issue was already implemented in 3.7:

• tram_stop as class=railway, subclass=tram_stop
• subway as class=railway, subclass=subway
• ferry as class=ferry_terminal
• bus as class=bus, subclass IN (bus_stop, bus_station)
• taxi as class=car, subclass=taxi

For the next major release of OMT (4.0) it probably makes sense to create separate stop for stations and stops.
