On some minibus routes, there are platforms (i.e. poles placed near the road) 
along the route but they are just for the convenience of the passengers. 
However, in most of the cases, these platforms have no legal effect and 
passengers can actually wait for the minibus along the route, whether there is 
a platform or not (especially in rural areas). When alighting the minibus, the 
passenger just calls out the place to the driver (e.g. "bus stop", "junction", 
"convenience store", "no. 23", etc.).

Does that mean I should just map what exist on the ground, without regarding 
where the passengers enter / leave the minibus?
