My question is if a bus stop has a shelter, should it be tagged with: shelter=yes and covered=no because it seems kind of counter intuitive to have a bus stop sheltered but not covered, so what is the common tagging way, and i'm seeing lots of bus stops tagged with covered but not shelter? Thanks Achile |

I think the situation is that the tag shelter=yes on a bus stop implies/assumes that it is covered, therefore no covered tag is needed. An uncovered feature would not usually be called a shelter. Some bus stops may be located under a roof or even enclosed space, with or without a separate/dedicated shelter. The significance of this difference from shelter-only open-air bus stops extends to whether a passenger will be exposed to weather when boarding/alighting, where the shelter may be some distance away or doesn't cover the waiting space entirely.

The wiki page's description on this issue as "Not a shelter, but covers you" seems ok. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:shelter
