Hello,

several public transport lines in Düsseldorf, Germany are tagged as railway=light_rail. It is something between a tram and a subway/underground/metro. Check maybe https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/51.22512/6.78003&layers=TN if interested. My problem is that this light_rail is not visible/highlighted in OsmAnd's public transport rendering - only those parts of the light_rail in the tunnel which are marked as subway instead of light_rail, because they are just used as service tracks.

How can the light_rail be included in the public transport network shown by OsmAnd? I have found that in OsmAnd ressources/obf_creation/rendering_types.xml in category name="railway" exists a type tag=railway for values such as tram and subway, but not for light_rail. Can this be the reason?

Can somebody please include the light_rail to be part of the public transport?

Thanks, Alexander.

Are you sure that it's fixed in 3.6.3 which was released on same day? For me, the problem still exists.
See the attached screenshot to show what I mean. Marked in blue are tram lines and in brown the subway. What is missing is light_rail acting like subway in underground and womewhat similar to tram on surface. But it's shown as a small black line which is hard to differentiate from the street itself, especially when it's coloured or from houses, when you draw them.
