I don't like solution 2. I do not understand why solution 1 should be ugly.
For solution 3 you could try 2 separate highway=service (without one-way).
Then its clear which busses passes at platform xx . Otherwise you will have
a lot of relations between the 2 platforms. So go completely nuts ;-) or
choose solution 1.
