Relation:public transport
This is a description of relations used in the public transport tagging scheme. There are two variants, both regarding public transport stops, stations, halts, or similar: stop_area and stop_area_group.
A stop area consists of everything regarding the embarkation and disembarkation of a specific public transport vehicle or service. For example, a specific railway line, the adjacent platform, services on that platform, related buildings, entrances, stops and information describing it (platform number, etc.).
The stop area group is used to group stop areas that make up a public transport interchange. For example a multi-modal interchange for buses, metros and trains.
Tags
These tags can equally apply to one stop area or a group of them.
