I have mapped bus stops as a node next to the highway, and connected it with a service way, at least where there are a bay where the bus can stop next to the highway. This node could also be connected with a walkway or sidewalk way, though I havn't started with that detailed level of mapping yet

There are a million highway=bus_stop nodes, they are rendered, and there's no very good reason to change them. There are 118,000 public_transport=platform nodes, of which 67% also have highway tags. I'd just put highway=bus_stop on the public_transport=platform nodes (if they are bus stops), and

I started this practise long ago before we had any properly working routing, I was than in the impression that they needed to be connected to the highway (if I remember correctly, the wiki page said something like "on thte road where the bus stops",) and I needed to destinguish between left and

The public_transport=stop_position is a node of the highway itself. What I consider to be where the stop is, is always a node that is not connected and to one side of the highway. When possible, I use the center of the B of the word B U S written on the asphalt. Failing that one corner of the shelt
