Hi Andy

Great style, one suggestion: for railways you render service=yard substantially less promiment. I think it would be a good idea to render service=spur and service=siding similar.

Great map. Could you add the funicular rendering? These sare very steep railways, pulled up by cables (the cable cars in St-Fransisco beeing a special case). Rendering could be for sake of simplicity be similar to “railways narrow gauge”, of like tramways. Better would be a dedicated color scheme for funiculars.

We would really love to see the trolley lines on your map (in green, for instance). I think this is the missing link on making your transport map a real replacement for other sources. Hope you’ll have the time to render that soon!

ANother possible imporvement is to use the color hints given on metro or rail lines.

Would it be better to render tram lines above bus routes, do you think. Eg in this bit of Sheffield you can’t see the tram line as it’s beneath a bus route: http://www.opencyclemap.org/?zoom=17&lat=53.38133&lon=-1.47277&layers=0B

Hi,
I found your new map and it’s great.
But here are a few things you could perhaps enhance:
1) In switzerland there are so called “trolleybusses” which are electrified busses using an arial contact line. The routes are taged with route=trolleybus (see relation 103189)
2) only render railway=rail if they don’t have a service=* tag. I think all the spur, yard and siding rails are not so interesting for the user. If you want to render them, than perhaps in a light gray.

I’ve been using it to check the correctness of the bus routes I am working on.

I find it beautiful, thanks for sharing.

Oh, I forgot: `railway=turntable` is also missing.

Hi,
thanks for the great map!
Currently, `railway=halt` isn’t rendered at all – please add this. Have you considered rendering the # of tracks?
Do you plan to publish the stylesheet somewhere? It would be interesting to see, how some parts are implemented and to play around with it.
Thanks,
Simon
