I agree with Philipp that there is not only no benefit in changing bus stop to
platform, it makes things worse.
it would be nice to have all bus stops grouped in one tag, like it always was.
Distinguishing between bus stops with platforms and those without in the main
tag (the tag that says: here you can get on / off a bus) is not desirable. From
this pov the new proposal asks to tag bus stops as platforms where there is
none, and this is no improvement. Also needing 2 tags (one to say there is a
stop and one to say it is for busses) where before one tag was sufficient for
the same meaning is no benefit.
I'd rather deprecate platform for busses if anything.
Cheers,
Martin
