In OSM we map *physical* objects only.
In rural areas there are many places where buses are timetabled to
stop but where there is nothing physical -- no signpost or shelter.
These are still 'physical' in the sense that they exist in the timetable
& Naptan documents. (Think also boundaries which don't have dashed lines
painted across fields)
Are these highway=bus_stop in OSM?
As a guesstimate, if they came from the naptan import, then probably yes
The wiki for highway says "Can be mapped more rigorously using
public_transport=stop_position for the position where the vehicle
stops and public_transport=platform for the place where passengers wait.
It's disappointing to see, once again, the PT schema developers
hi-jacking wiki pages to enforce their schema. The comments column is
meant to describe how to use the tag not promote alternatives. This
needs changing.
"public_transport=stop_position for the position where the vehicle stops"
But that's not happening, is it? it's being wastefully duplicated on the
highway=bus_stop which is most often at the pole/sign location, not on
the highway.
highway=bus_stop is perfectly adequate to locate the place where people
wait for a bus. 'platform' is redundant
PTv2 is a complete mess. it needs rescinding.
