With regard to ref. I have bus stops that have 'Stand A' etc near
train stations. these also carry a reference number that is used
by the transport company - they are handy if you knowthem as you
can type that in as your destination or start for there website on
finding a trip scheduled/fee. Discussion on the Australian list
resulted in this

<div>For me the object that represents the bus stop, is always a
simple node. I don't see a problem for doing that in bus
stations as well.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If there are actual platforms, whether in a bus station or
somewhere along a way, it can be tagged:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>highway=platform (<a

moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/304753571</a>)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>or</div>

<div>or railway=platform (<a

<div><br>
</div>
<div>for trams.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>on a way.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>These ways don't get the ref, name, route_ref, zone,
local_ref, operator, network, and so on, those go on the node
that represents the bus stop. Only that node needs to be added
to the route relations. It doesn't get any simpler than that.</div>

Good. I can see no benefit to adding additional information to the
route. Things like shelters, toilets etc all become evident when the
map is viewed. The routeing information does not need it. <br>

(example of a bus stop served by 3 different operators near
Brussels, I only put public_transport=platform, bus=yes
because for a few years that seemed like the right thing to
do. Today I wouldn't mind removing those 2 tags once again.) <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Those platform ways could get:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>tactile_paving=yes</div>
<div>wheelchair=yes</div>
<div>height=</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So there is no real conflict between highway=bus_stop or
railway=tram_stop on a node </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>and</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>highway=platform or railway=platform on a way or an area.</div>

<div>There's something I haven't found a way of mapping.
That's a bus stop where there's a bay</div>
<div>inlet into the pavement (aka sidewalk, aka
causeway). If it served a different purpose and</div>
<div>had different road markings, it could be a lay-by
(aka rest area) or a parking bay. But it's a</div>
<div>bus stop where the bus does not obstruct the flow of
traffic. There are four of those in</div>
<div>my town, that I can think of (there may be others
I've missed).<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yes, I could use area:highway or add area=yes to a
closed way, but those don't seem to render</div>
<div>on a popular, well-known carto intended for mappers
to check their work for anything but</div>
<div>pedestrian ways.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there a way of doing it that I've missed? If not,
could we have one?</div>
<div><br>
