Very soon after PTv2 was 'accepted' I understood that if we would ever replace hw=bus_stop NODES with pt=platform, the mode of transport would need to be added on these nodes.
Ever since it's a back and forth pulling between yes the mode of transport can be added on them and NO the platforms don't need a mode of transport. In the mean time, I'm not so sure that there is willingness to 'deprecate' highway=bus_stop, not even sure if there ever was, and I guess there is no real need for it etiher. The problem with that kind of thinking is that it can lead to the conclusion the whole public_transport scheme is not needed for the stops. Now I don't mind using it, just like I wouldn't mind dropping it. What I do mind is the use of multiple objects in the route relations to represent the same stop and the perceived need to 'upgrade' stops from nodes to ways/areas during their lifecycle if there are actual platforms for passengers to wait on. I created a 10 minute screencast showing some new functionality in PT_Assistant, but more importantly it also shows the public_transport tags are a bit confusing to some. In this case the stops mapped nicely as nodes alongside the way got stop_position instead of platform as the value. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVcKredS0kA PT_Assistant's validator will tell you about this and JOSM will make it easy to correct the situation. After stopping the recording I went on to fix the from/to tags and adding a route_master relation before uploading. But I wanted to keep the screencast concise and to the point.
