The Winnipeg WIKI page has a reasonable schema for this: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canada:Manitoba:Winnipeg See the section on Bus Stops. For example: * highway=bus_stop * route_ref=12;65 (Include all routes that stop here, separated by semicolon) (ie each route in winnipeg is numbered) * name=* (The name of the bus stop, which is usually the cross street; printed on the sign) * asset_ref=10254 (The stop number, printed on the sign) * shelter=yes/no (Indicate if there is as shelter at this stop) Here's an example of a bus stop sign in Winnipeg from a survey I did; I have yet to add this to OSM yet: http://www.egunn.com/dl/bus_stop.jpg Ironically, here's the only example of a fully tagged bus stop in Winnipeg that I can find (one of my first attempts at it): http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/679411842 Hope that helps.
