All suburban trains in Mumbai (a.k.a. local trains, or locals) seem to have fixed coach positions, indicated by static painted signs on each platform. There are signs for first-class coaches, coaches reserved for women, and coaches reserved for people with disabilities and cancer patients.
Since they are hand-painted, I assume they rarely change in position. Based on my little experience with Mumbai suburban trains, the trains never fail to match up with the signs.
It is helpful to be able to see these coach positions, as trains stop for a very brief duration and one may need to make quick decisions in order to reach the nearest desired coach.
How should these coach positions be tagged?
NB - These signs don’t apply to national trains, which have varying coach layouts and rely on LED displays to show the coach positions.
There are these 2 self-documented in French
The opposite by showing what each *:carriages= aligns with using the =stop + =stop_position might be easier in some sense Proposal:Platform exits - OpenStreetMap Wiki
We haven’t agreed on it. I don’t like adapting exit= and mixing everything in exit:carriages=* , having suggested to move them into different destination:*:carriages=
Hey, thanks! Based on a quick DeepL translation and the graphics, platform_marker and platform_section look good! Could anyone please translate them to English so they can be discovered and used by the global community?
(Are we allowed to base wiki translations on machine translations?)
EDIT - I don’t see any way to tag which coach is being designated - first class, women’s coach, coach for persons with disabilities…how should we add that information?
