Make amenity=bus_station
render more like railway=halt

This does not seem to make much sense to me - an Independent of that bus stations are currently rendered at z16+ - i don't think moving this down four (!!) zoom levels is a good idea. I also don't see what purpose this would serve in a typical case at this zoom level. |
Thank you for the reply. I should have included my rationale and the history in the comment. I started working on the proposal for Initially, I intended to additionally propose Anyway, An example of this occurring would be in Bogotá, Columbia: |

Well - at the moment amenity=bus_station is predominantly used for what are bus stations according to what is documented on the wiki and we render it accordingly. What the appropriate tag would be to tag BRT bus stops/stations and if it makes sense to overload amenity=bus_station for that purpose is a topic for a different venue.
Rendering of railway=station at z12 serves to display further structure and details on the rail network (which we start displaying at z8 for the major rails). They serve this purpose well without adding too much noise because typical distances between train stations are from a few km to more than 50km and therefore sparse enough to not overfill the map and since the choice of color is with only subtle contrast with the color of the railway line. Note we have railway=halt for simple train stops en route without more structure typical for a railway station. Use of that varies between countries and in your two samples the majority of train stations shown would elsewhere probably be tagged as railway=halt. |
I suppose I should change this PR to instead render |
BRT stations are usually supposed to be between 300 meters and 800 meters apart. I'm not completely sure if the distance between railway halts is about the same. |
