Yes, I have seen the ref tag used for some number that occurs on the bus
stop.
I have used (misused?) the ref to tag the routes that use that bus stop,
then some one has put the stop 'number' in as local_ref.
Possibly the stop number is a 'operator_ref' ... whatever, no practical
use to the normal person.
The routes that stop at a bus stop .. might better go into a comments
tag - help others who might be mapping routes using the already entered
bus stops?
In crowed space you have to zoom in, as always. Possibly a search
function may work?

I agree, putting the stand name first makes sense.
I've been putting ref=1234 tags on stands (with their ID from the
sign), but for some reason haven't ever thought to add the name as
well; I shall do so from now on.

In Sweden, I have seen the "F" going into the ref tag. Just a
thought, I don't recall how it affects rendering in common schemes.
Con: Clash with a more rigorous ref num giving by the transport
authority, "40459" or such. Another (complementary) practice is to
put just "F" as the name - which has the secondary benefit of being
more likely to render out in a crowded space. The other detail
perhaps being better suited to the corresponding bus_station
node/area/relation.
Else, +1 from me, the proposal seems useful to me as a smart
refinement of local practice.

Hi,
At present the names of bus stops goes something like
name=Strathfield Station, Albert Rd (Stand F).
The web transport trip planers direct you to Stand F, yet this is not
very visiblein OSM renderings as that information is last.
Would it not be best to have the name put the more detailed
information
first and the generalproximity information last, much like an
address?
Such as
name=Stand F, Albert Rd, Strathfield Station
Thoughts?
