Common use cases

This key is also used in conjunction with man_made=storage_tank to indicate the (non-discrete) volume or mass held by the tank.

To further define the capacity for special interest groups, additional tags can be used to describe them in addition to the tag capacity=*:

capacity number The amount of lots, rooms, seats (or the like) available. (Including all special lots, e.g. parking spaces for disabled drivers)
capacity:disabled=* yes/no/number Defines whether or not dedicated lots, rooms, seats or other spaces for the disabled are available. If known, the number of spaces can be specified. See more...
capacity:women=* yes/no/number Defines the amount of dedicated women's spaces available. See the wiki page for Key:capacity:women.
capacity:parent=* yes/no/number Mostly parking areas: Defines whether or not dedicated parent and child parking spaces are available. If known, the number of spaces can be specified.
capacity:charging=* yes/no/number Defines whether or not dedicated charging spaces are available when used with amenity=parking. If known, the number of spaces can be specified. capacity=* should be used in conjunction with amenity=charging_station.
capacity:truck=*
capacity:bus=*
capacity:motorcar=*
capacity:cargo_bike=*
capacity:motorcycle=*
yes/no/number A transportation mode (a.k.a vehicle category) can be added as subkey to mark the number of trucks or buses a parking lot can accommodate.

Or, e.g. in bicycle parking, number of spots, designed explicitly for cargo bikes.

capacity:persons=* number Defines how many persons can be carried, used for example together with highway=elevator. If it's obvious that the maximum number of persons of a feature is meant, just use capacity=* for it.
capacity:persons=*
capacity:caravans=*
capacity:tents=*
capacity:pitches=*
capacity:beds=*
capacity:rooms=*
number On campsites capacity=* is ambiguous thus use the suitable subkeys to distinguish between number of persons and number of pitches. For a tourism=guest_house you may use Simple_Indoor_Tagging.
capacity:pupils=*
capacity:teachers=*
capacity:classrooms=*
number Undocumented keys - Number of pupils/students and teachers a school is built for. Almost all occurrences are from few imports of data.

  • seats=* - the number of seats on a bench
  • aerialway:capacity=*: different definition, about the number of passengers that can be transported by the whole aerialway=* system.
