bus_bay = right | left | both ( https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/485293336 )
For me the object that represents the bus stop, is always a simple node. I don't see a problem for doing that in bus stations as well. If there are actual platforms, whether in a bus station or somewhere along a way, it can be tagged: highway=platform (https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/304753571) or or railway=platform (https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/255344359) for trams. on a way. These ways don't get the ref, name, route_ref, zone, local_ref, operator, network, and so on, those go on the node that represents the bus stop. Only that node needs to be added to the route relations. It doesn't get any simpler than that. https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/576656712 (example of a bus stop served by 3 different operators near Brussels, I only put public_transport=platform, bus=yes because for a few years that seemed like the right thing to do. Today I wouldn't mind removing those 2 tags once again.) Those platform ways could get: tactile_paving=yes wheelchair=yes height= So there is no real conflict between highway=bus_stop or railway=tram_stop on a node and highway=platform or railway=platform on a way or an area.
