My understanding is that `public_transport=platform` is any place where public transport can be accessed
Same as bus_stop/tram_stop, you mean?
and should not literally be interpreted as a physical platform
then why hi-jack the word 'platform' which has a clear, specific meaning? Yet more confusion
If anything `highway=bus_stop` is redundant data,
It's is a well established, popular tag far exceeding any PT tags
however it's necessary for render compatibility (violating the "don't tag for the renderer rule"
I think your logic got a bit twisted around. bus_stop is the original & no PT tag adds anything extra to improve the database.
and (in my opinion) should not impede mapping progress.
Existing tags work, Changing for the sake of change is irrelevant. PTv2 needs to be rescinded.
