The highway=platform tag is used for platforms (raised structures) along the side of a road where passengers get on and off buses and/or trams. The equivalent tag for railway platforms is railway=platform.
How to map
Draw a line way along the centre of the platform or create an area around the outline of the platform, and add the tag highway=platform. You may also add the tag to a node at the location of the platform.
Additional tags:
- ref=* - the reference number of the platform
- route_ref=* - the reference number of the bus route that serves the platform
- name=* - If the platform has a common name like "Platform 2"
- operator=* - the name of the operator of the bus service and platform
- wheelchair=* - wheelchair accessibility
- bench=* - is there a bench on the platform?
- bin=* - is there a waste bin?
- shelter=* - is there a covered shelter?
- toilets=* - are there toilets?
