Indeed not a platform, just a bus stop with a bench and maybe a shelter, not sure. If the kerb were a bit higher where the bus halts, I'd say platform, but this is just a sidewalk. That we map such a node with public_transport=platform/bus=yes doesn't make it a platform. That's just convention sinc

A bus stop, a place where a bus halts to pick up and drop off passengers is both real and current. Tying it to a geographic object can be done in various ways, as we've shown over the past years. I read the wiki a few times over the past years and then I started looking for something that works, b

For platform numbers or letters I've seen local_ref being used succesfully. For train platforms it is also possible they are divided into zones, where one part of the train may have one destination, and the other another destination. Such trains are split either in that station or a subsequent one.

I'm not very optimistic you'll manage to get that proposal to pass. We'll probably keep double tagging everything for a long time to come. The reason why I put public_transport=platform on bus stop nodes, is that JOSM conveniently adds a platform role when they are added to relations. Also because
