Tools for this tag

A bus is a large motor vehicle used for public transport of passengers.

In most countries a bus is a larger public service vehicle or public transport vehicle used to transport passengers, with more than 9 or 12 seating positions, but the specific definition may vary by location. Long-distance and inter-city bus and coach=* vehicles may or may not be included. Trolleybuses are usually included.

There are two uses of this tag: 1) to specify legal access restrictions for buses. 2) to specify the type of passenger public transport vehicle that uses a stop or station.

Also see the more common access tag psv=* which includes public transport buses as well as other public service vehicles.

bus=* (a bus acting as a public service vehicle)

For values see access=*.

How to map

As an access tag

Add this tag to roads, lanes, parking lots or other features which do not allow public transport buses.

  • the original use of bus=*, since mid-2009, is as an Access tag, with values such as yes, designated and no
  • Add bus=no to a feature where access by public transport buses is prohibited.
  • See Access for other possible values

To specify the use of a public transport bus stop or platform

  • Since 2011, some mappers have used bus=no with public_transport=platform or public_transport=stop_position to specify that buses do not stop at the feature.
  • The Public Transport proposal in 2011 approved using bus=yes with public_transport=stop_position on a node on the highway=* way to show where a bus stops on the street. It was also mentioned that bus=no might be used with public_transport=stop_position.
  • This is mainly useful to specify that buses do not stop at a bus stop or stop position where they might be expected to stop - for example, on a road shared by trams and buses.
  • Also see trolleybus=yes/no which is used in this way, but specifically for electric buses powered by electric overhead wires.
