A bus stop is usually "identified by a pole, a shelter, a bus bay and/or a yellow zigzag line on the street". Fortunately, a bus bay fits the definition of a bus stop. It can be tagged as

highway=bus_stop
ref=A (if it is a bus stop for "A" buses) or ref=B (if it is a bus stop for "B" buses) or ref=C (if it is a bus stop for "A" and "B" buses).

More info: "The widely used approach is to place bus stop nodes off to one side of the highway way, so not with node being part of the way. This easily captures the important 
information about which side of the road the bus stop is on." [2] Also, "A bus stop should be defined for each discrete location where buses 
stop. If there are two places where buses stop on either side of the 
road then two bus stops should be defined." [2]
