Do we need to add to this, Request Bus Stops, ie Bus stops where you
need to stick out you hand, From Stops where the bus always stop, Bus
stands; (Where buses stop and have a coffee break) and Bus stations
(Which I suspect is a completely separate tag),

We need to split what buses do at the stops away from what is at the
stop. I guess.....
