Key:passenger

This key is used in 3 ways. 1) to specify whether passengers are carried on a railway route, with values yes / no 2) to specify the extent which is served by a passenger railway route with national / regional / suburban / local / etc. 3) Rarely, as an access key for water based transport, with yes / no / designated

It is a property tag added to a primary feature tag: railway=* or route=* mapped as ways or relations.

Please note that this key is mentioned on the access=* page as well and proposed to be used for description of legal access permissions of water based transport (e.g. route=ferry) with usual values such as yes, no, designated, therefore some conflicts might occur.
