One question on the Naptan import: Did you use any tags from the
public_transport therefore? Or are these all highway=bus_stop?
Would be a great chance to increase coverage of the more detailed
public_transport=platform

In the UK as part of the Naptan import we already have decided that
bus stops must be marked exactly where they are on the ground and
added to the route relation of the bus route.

Hi everybody again:
This time I'd like to propose a smaller change, but this one may
break compatibility with oxomoa - it has been, however, already
commonly implemented.
*ISSUE RAISED:
* map bus stops to their physical location, not a point on the
route/street
*
Present status: If I understand correctly, oxomoa suggests that the
bus stop data (name, unique number, etc.) be entered as properties of
a point on the route/street.
Problems :
* Lines often have stops that are quite far apart for each direction
* This prohibits proper routing (GPS + walking),
* this system is not very intuitive I find.
*Proposed change: bus stops to be mapped exactly to where they are,
and to be added to relations *
Result:
* better routing results e.g. one wants to find a correct way to the
bus stop, and not to the average point somewhere between two stops of
the same name in either direction.
* more intuitive system -> easier "learning curve" for new users.
Influence on possible future software solutions: minor. May require
all the stops on the route to be ordered based on their geographical
location, as opposed to their place on the route (the latter is easier).
Comments: I have seen this system very often implemented - two bus
stops on each side, so my suggestion is just to codify the situation
for future editors.
Hope this is not too much at once, for more is to follow.
