At best, stops (waiting areas) should be connected to the pedestrian
road network, but they don't need to be connected to the road. Even if
sidewalks are tagged on the highway=* way, it is important to know on
which side of the road the bus stops. The stop positions – which only
buses need to know – can then be calculated by projecting the stop to
the road that is part of the same route relation. As i've written in
the recent discussion on talk-transit, OsmAnd's public transportation
routing works very well in Stockholm, where only stops
(highway=bus_stop) beside the road are mapped.
