The nodes tagged highway=bus_stop (with role platform) are off to one side of the highway, so not part of the way. It is the nodes in the way that have the role stop. I personally wouldn’t bother with the latter as it should be obvious that the bus stops at the nearest point in the way in the relation where passengers transfer from the relevant platform “node” to the way.

" Sorry, but to me it looks like yet another "fun" thing to complicate the matter more than necessary. I use "platform" only where there is a terminus-like structure, that is where there is more than one bus stop. -- Best regards, mit freundlichen Grüssen, meilleurs sentiments, Pozdrowienia, Michał Borsuk
