Re: [Rails-devel] 1837 Revenue Calculation

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

OK.
We don't yet have the capability to assign special types to individual stops
on one tile, so I will work to add such a capability.
Perhaps adding a 'stop' attribute to the <Access> tag will do (in other
places 'city' is used, but I think those can better be replaced by 'stop'
too).

Erik.
