To quote my changeset comment:
This undiscussed, undocumented mass edit that didn't follow the
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct>
is introducing a huge amount of incorrect data to the database and
should be reverted.
public_transport=platform doesn't automatically go onto every
highway=bus_stop, only in cases where that's the only thing that's
mapped.
If there is an actual waiting area of any kind, the
public_transport=platform belongs on that instead.
see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Public_transport#Buses
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Public_transport#Buses>
Umm from the above page
"If there is no real platform and you will only find a simple sign for
the passengers …
Add a node node at the location of the bus stop sign. It gets following
tags:
public_transport=platform
highway=bus_stop
name=<name> or ref=<reference number>
optional: additional tags like shelter=yes/no, bench=yes/no,
bin=yes/no, etc."
In most instances in Australia all there is is a 'bus stop sign' and
shelter with bench if your lucky. So in the majority of cases the
tagging would be correct.
-------------------
I think this came about from 'public transport version 2'. I don't know
if it is 'required'.
Personally I see platforms for trains, wharf? for ferries and usually
nothing for buses.
