Title: Station names - inside and outside of city limits
Post by: Václav on February 22, 2013, 10:38:03 AM
I don't know if it is bug or it is intended. For this I decided to place this topic into help center.

I have two cities that are close to each other - but still city limits of both cities are quite distant from each other (they are not overlapped). It is visible on attached image prepared from screenshot.

And I found that stations inside of city limits of Stropčice get names like if they would be inside or very close to city limits of Jemniště. I really would like to know why.

Why in this case station inside of city limits of Stropčice get names of city Jemniště?

Because the city center of Jemniste is closer to the station than the city center of Stropcice.

Just rename the stop...

Yes, I think station name is given by which town hall they're closest to, IIRC.

But it is very strange.

I think that this rule (about distance from townhall) should be used only in case when station is:
1. outside of city limits of any city
2. inside of city limits of two or more cities

...
but when station is inside of city limits of only one city, then its name should be based on city that covers this station.
