it is understood that this is always the same tag for the same or similar
function wrt public transport routing, but is there a benefit from it?
Aren't bus stops different from ferry boarding or from platforms in train
stations? For those of us who don't use presets, isn't it simpler to add
highway=bus_stop on your smartphone than public_transport=platform and
bus=yes? I do not care a lot about this issue, but from the actual tagging
it seems people prefer the simple way (simple for them).


Cheers,
Martin
