Currently definition at
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dbus_station
is unclear, it fits two cases
* intercity bus station (routes between cities, importance comparable
to railway=station)
* terminus highway=bus_stop (routes within city terminate and start
here, minor importance, importance lower than railway=halt)
while in my experience tag is used only in the first case (what makes
sense).
Would it be OK to edit wiki and restrict it only to the first meaning?
Being a bus station or not has nothing to do with whether the routes
from there are intercity or not (though often intercity routes will stop
at a bus station rather than elsewhere) or whether bus routes terminate
or not (though often they will).
I suspect the wiki author is just trying to describe "what tends to
happen at" a bus station rather than defining it. The picture on the
wiki is somewhat confusingly a combined tram and bus station; maybe
pictures of more examples from more continents would help?
