NaPTAN
Stop & Stop Area Types
The fundamental entities of the NaPTAN model are stop points and stop areas. There are a number of different types of stop point and stop area, each assigned a short code, and a number of subtypes of stop point, also assigned a short code. The following matrix shows
- The three letter codes used to identify the different types of NaPTAN stop point
- The three letter codes used to identify the different types of NaPTAN bus stop subtypes
- The four letter codes used to identify the different types of NaPTAN stop area.
It also shows whether the stop point identifier is allocated from a national or local range.
