<p>To quote my changeset comment:<br>
<br>
This undiscussed, undocumented mass edit that didn't follow
the <a
href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct</a>
is introducing a huge amount of incorrect data to the database
and should be reverted.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>public_transport=platform doesn't automatically go onto every
highway=bus_stop, only in cases where that's the only thing
that's mapped. <br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>If there is an actual waiting area of any kind, the
public_transport=platform belongs on that instead.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Umm from the above page <br>
</p>
<p>"If there is no real platform and you will only find a simple
sign for the passengers … <br>
Add a node node at the location of the bus stop sign. It gets
following tags:<br>
<br>
public_transport=platform<br>
highway=bus_stop<br>
name=<name> or ref=<reference number><br>
optional: additional tags like shelter=yes/no, bench=yes/no,
bin=yes/no, etc."</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In most instances in Australia all there is is a 'bus stop sign'
and shelter with bench if your lucky. So in the majority of cases
the tagging would be correct. <br>
</p>

</p>
<p>-------------------</p>
<p>I think this came about from 'public transport version 2'. I
don't know if it is 'required'. <br>
</p>
<p>Personally I see platforms for trains, wharf? for ferries and
usually nothing for buses. <br>
