The GTFS system has seperate files for bus stops and routes. If you can tag
the bus stops with the number that's fine, it also has the long and lat for
all the bus stops.

scroll down and you'll see the specifications.

Use the four digit number (GTFS stop_code) as the name, followed by the

before the stop. Two stops may have the same stop_name but different
stop_codes.
Calgary has similar numbers on their bus stops, see:

I have been entering these as (for example):

Each stop has a 'human name' which might be duplicated across a number of
physical stops (especially as interchanges), which can be found on (but is
hard to 'scrape') the Calgary Transit website:

#4590 - SB CE s...@n OF BEDDINGTON BV NW
Another thing to note is that 'stop number' can also be pre-pended to for
a information line telephone number.
I'd be interested in how you plan to link the stops into a route, and
whether you are using seperate nodes, or marking nodes within a way.
