Transit authority tagging

[pavvv]

@Jofban

So, I thought that you and I are in the EU, so it can’t be that different.

And it probably isn’t most of the time but Wrocław is just an exception and the whole thing is just a bit mess.

@Jofban

The authority is the Transport Department of the City Hall

I found a translation into polish on the website of MPK, so may I suggest:

network=Wydział Transportu Urzędu Miejskiego Wrocławia

Is there a shorthand for it to be put into network:short? I only found Wydział Transportu UMW

No, that makes 0 sense as a network. Maro21 wants to put it into the operator and I came into the conclusion that a new tag is needed. Also the correct abbreviation is WTr UM Wrocław.

@dzamper

It looks like there is no separate communal authority in Wrocław designated for the task of managing the public transport

I already wrote that MPK Wrocław has subcontractors like Michalczewski, Mobilis (no longer since April), DLA, Kłosok.

@dzamper

So it would seem a straightforward scheme, keeping the key values concise:

• operator=MPK Wrocław
• network=Wrocław

Seems it’s already quite a popular tagging?

This network tag is what maro21 uses but it doesn’t sit right with me because it’s not really Wrocław but rather the public transit in Wrocław.
This operator is what I use but maro21 wants to use WTr UM Wrocław – the authority. @Minh_Nguyen suggested the regulator tag.

I don’t know what this discussion is about now and it seems like not everyone has read the whole thread. Let’s not repeat the same cases and focus on these questions:

• What’s the best tag for the authority? Does anyone have a better idea than regulator=*?
• What should be the network tag’s value be? “buses in Wrocław” for buses and “trams in Wrocław” for trams or “public transport in Wrocław” for both or maybe just “Wrocław”? In the case of the latter, why?
