At some locations, the stands are a block or more apart (such as the multiple Martin Place and Town Hall bus stops in Sydney and the many different stops at major suburban transport interchanges).   Each "stand" needs to clearly identified as a separate stop.

While the signposts at stops generally give greater prominence to "Stand A", "Stand B" or sometimes "Stand B1", Stand B2" etc, the six or seven digit reference numbers seem to be more prominent in the public transport apps and have a necessary place in the OSM database.

I think the 'Stand *' should come before the location. Why? Because the 
location can be determined by the lat/lon in the data base or its 
location on a map. The 'Stand x' though is not something that can be 
determined by lat/lon/location.


The reference number is handy in getting a route from the web route 
planner - the from and too fields can be used with the ref number rather 
than typing the name.


I recall having this conversation before on this list.
