| - | Traditionally, a variety of tags, including {{Tag|highway|platform}}, {{Tag|highway|bus_stop}}, {{Tag|railway|platform}}, {{tag|aeroway|gate}}, {{tag|amenity|taxi}}, have traditionally been used for various different modes. | + | Traditionally, a variety of tags have been used, each for a different mode, including {{Tag|highway|bus_stop}} (for bus stops), {{Tag|railway|platform}} (for mainline railway and subway platforms), {{tag|aeroway|gate}} (at airports), {{tag|amenity|taxi}} etc. To be clear, these 'traditional' tags are still widely used and are still valid. |

The platform can tagged as an {{IconNode}} {{IconWay}} or {{IconArea}}. Nodes are used for locations where there is no physical infrastructure (for example a customary bus stop without infrastructure or with a pole), a way for location where a linear area is allocated for people waiting for public transport and an area when a more expansive size is allocated or where different platforms adjoin, such as at in a railway station (a single closed way is assumed as an area). | The platform can tagged as an {{IconNode}} {{IconWay}} or {{IconArea}}.

| - | A platform is associated with a {{tag|public_transport|stop_position}} which is part of the way on which the vehicle (bus/train/tram/cablecar) actually stops. A platform will normally be grouped together with other associated elements, including stopping_points, benches, separate shelters and even station buildings within a relation of type {{tag|public_transport|stop_area}}. | + | Platform can normally be grouped together with other associated elements, including {{tag|public_transport|stop_position}} (where the vehicle stops), benches, separate shelters and even station buildings using the {{tag|public_transport|stop_area}} [[relation]]. |
