There was a problem hiding this comment.
This will go into the next major version (because translation updates), which is why I am not merging this yet, but it is done.

I am still thinking about
proposed by @goldfndr
seems a bit weird to me, but maybe it is actually better |

Sounds a little weird. One does not "ride" on a ferry. |
|
Perhaps it's just en-US? Or elsewhere? It's definitely "ride" in US:WA. (WSDOT has a fairly extensive ferry system locally; note that a paragraph starts with "Riders".) |

Ok then it looks like I am wrong. So one can ride a ferry, like a train, but does a car also ride that ferry then? Likewise, a train that also transports cars, do these cars ride on the train with you?
Or is this wording limited to people?

For me
seems perfectly fine. But
also seems weird to me. @goldfndr - are you sure that this is OK? |
|
Remember that @goldfndr is the only native English speaker in this issue here. 😃 With everything else, the translators then have to deal with these kind of issues… 😉 |
I know, but I wanted to ask explicitly about
variant. |
|
I'm thinking that, rather than the awkward usage of "riding" for passenger vehicles (which, upon reflection, sounds a bit odd to me too), @matkoniecz's current wording is fine. (I was thinking boarding but that makes the question much longer.) But "this ferry" needs to be added to the strings that don't include "%s", as the questions are incomplete otherwise. Oh, lest I forget again, StreetComplete tends to use the word "allowed" rather than "permitted". My apologies. |
Nothing wrong happened! Review of wording and confirmation that it is OK is very useful. More than enough to outweigh slight confusion by proposing alternative wording and withdrawing it on a second thought. |

Note that long ferries are excluded, like any long ways.
In this case quest will collect information that sometimes can be already derived from other data. But even if it collects data that changes routing only in 1% of solved quests it is still worth tagging it explicitly as incorrect routing caused by a poor ferry data may cause massive detours.
I looked at other access values and most of them are mistakes, foot=designated where foot=yes works equally well or extremely rare situations that can be handled with a note.
I am considering more complicated motor vehicle quest to handle cases where only some types of vehicles are allowed (say, only motorcycles). For now I trust user to switch to creating notes in such cases.
