-	The '''public_transport=stop_area''' tag is used as part of a [[relation]] to identify all of the features associated with a public transport interchange or part of one. A stop area for a simple bus stop with buses in both direction and two bus stops would consist of a two platforms ({{tag|public_transport|platform}}) and two stop positions ({{tag|public_transport|stop_position}}). A more complex stop area may include multiple platforms and stop positions and many associated elements.	+	The '''public_transport=stop_area''' tag is used as part of a [[relation]] to identify all of the features associated with a public transport interchange or part of one. A stop area for a simple bus stop with buses in both direction and two bus stops would consist of a two bus stops (or 'platforms') which can be tagged using ({{tag|public_transport|platform}} or {{tag|highway|bus_stop}}) and two stop positions (using {{tag|public_transport|stop_position}}). More complex stop areas may include multiple platforms and stop positions and many associated elements.
	For larger interchanges it is often appropriate to organise stop areas into a hierarchy. Heathrow Airport would for example consist of 5 terminals, a coach station and two undergorund stations with many associated facilities. A single stop area may include elements for many transport modes, including train, subway, monorail, tram, bus, trolleybus, aerialway and ferry. Some stop areas may also be identified as a {{tag|public transport|station}}.		For larger interchanges it is often appropriate to organise stop areas into a hierarchy.
