I was going to say that usually we have the atco code in ref for bus stops
with the more visible stop C in local ref, and thus bus stops aren't the
perfect example. I certainly wouldn't tell someone to wait
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/379549832> at bus stop 3390V1 rather
than V1.

I then felt obscurely cheated that the latter local_ref shows up on the
Transport Map in bus stops in high zooms for London and some city centres,
but apparently not elsewhere. Is this some magical trade secret or me just
missing some tagging difference.
