Here in Belgium, we have normal buses and longer ones, either can have 2 doors or 3 doors. There is no way of knowing which of those buses is going to serve which stops at a given time. The only thing we do know for sure, is that we are supposed to get on in front, except for wheelchairs and parents with strollers. I fail to understand why stop_positions are considered to be that important. Especially for buses. For trains I might understand, but even there it's impossible to predict where exactly the doors will be when the train stops. And it's not important, what matters is when there are zones on the platforms, those we can map by splitting those platforms.
